SAS EG log file overwriting

durga — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 14:21:47 GMT

Hi All -

Log is overwriting in SAS EG if i run code again in same session. I would like to append the log instead of overwrite.

For now i am saving log using proc printto to have all log content.

Thanks,

Durga.

That behavior is by design. EG is essentially submitting a batch job to the server and that's the way batch jobs work. Since EG is not keeping each version of the source code, I'm not sure the value of the old logs.

EG does have a mechanism to save BOTH the code and the log. When you run a task, select 'no' on placing the output.

Please turn on the project log in SAS EG.

For this modify the tools. Go to SAS EG tools, select options then general and then check the "enable the project log for new projects".

By this way all logs will be stored in project log which can be viewed from View --> Project Log in EG

Thanks,
Jag
