Are some of the sas related log output being dumped into the native system logs too? Thanks for your advice<BR /> <BR /> -Josh Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:07:46 GMT deleted_user 2008-02-25T01:07:46Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/where-do-you-find-the-server-log-files-for-both-wintel-and-unix/m-p/7114#M2259 Hey guys,<BR /> <BR /> For both unix and wintel, where will you find the sas related log files and configurations?

You can just search for the file name. Some configuration parameters can also be set in AUTOEXEC.SAS and on the SAS command execution.<BR /> <BR /> The SAS execution log for any EGuide task is located with the task. Just right-click on the task in the process flow.<BR /> <BR /> To my knowledge, nothing that is SAS-specific goes in the system logs (the use of the SAS program itself might be there, but nothing about how it was used).<BR /> <BR /> Doc Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:39:54 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/where-do-you-find-the-server-log-files-for-both-wintel-and-unix/m-p/7115#M2260 Doc_Duke 2008-02-25T13:39:54Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/where-do-you-find-the-server-log-files-for-both-wintel-and-unix/m-p/7116#M2261 Thanks Doc@Duke. The reason I was asking this was to understand if the default installation (unix and wintel) typically puts it in one particular directory. I read about the logs from SAS for dummies, but it doesnt say much about how to interpret what you see in the log, or how to debug sas programs.<BR /> Hopefully, I'll find out more from the little sas book soon.<BR /> <BR /> -Josh Tue, 26 Feb 2008 08:03:05 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/where-do-you-find-the-server-log-files-for-both-wintel-and-unix/m-p/7116#M2261 deleted_user 2008-02-26T08:03:05Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/where-do-you-find-the-server-log-files-for-both-wintel-and-unix/m-p/7117#M2262 Hi:<BR /> Once you find your logs, the info in these papers might help you do your debugging or develop your programs to avoid common mistakes:<BR /> <A href="http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi22/BEGTUTOR/PAPER68.PDF" target="_blank">http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi22/BEGTUTOR/PAPER68.PDF</A><BR /> <A href="http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi26/p054-26.pdf" target="_blank">http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi26/p054-26.pdf</A><BR /> <A href="http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2007/211-2007.pdf" target="_blank">http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2007/211-2007.pdf</A><BR /> <A href="http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi27/p051-27.pdf" target="_blank">http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi27/p051-27.pdf</A><BR /> <BR /> cynthia Tue, 26 Feb 2008 23:55:30 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/where-do-you-find-the-server-log-files-for-both-wintel-and-unix/m-p/7117#M2262 Cynthia_sas 2008-02-26T23:55:30Z
