Scheduling a SAS job to execute after every 5 min

The SAS Management Console only allows scheduling of Deployed SAS Jobs only at an hourly basis. But i have a requirement in which data need to be pulled every 5 mins.

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

You can add multiple time events for deployed jobs,

So in your scenario, you have to create total 12-time events,

In this way, you can fulfill your requirement.

here is the screenshot for your reference:

1.) Create total 12-time events like this(eg:00-5-10-15-20........45-50-55)

2.) After creating that all time events, schedule the flow like this:

For the specific SAS Management Console verion that i'm waorking on displays the time events as list hence you cannot apply one time event at a time. Therefore i cannot apply your solution.

My SAS Management Console version is 9.4.

@Kalind_Patel What is your SAS Management Console version ?

I am using SAS 9.4 M3,

Please change the scheduling server from operating system services to SAS DIP Job Runner,

I am using SAS DIP Job Runner for this JOB,

You can change this by:

Go to Schedule Manager> right click on Deployed Job> set Scheduling Server

Why not just write a program that wakes up every 5min or so and does the deed.

Hi Ankit,

You can run or schedule the SAS jobs as per your requirements.

If you are using the Linux o/s then you can perform the same task by using crontab.

if you are using the windows o/s then you can do the same by using windows task scheduler.

Best Regards
