Error from scheduled SAS EG projects: SAS EG Project is not a valid project

VasilijNevlev — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 08:05:47 GMT

Hi,

SAS users schedule their own SAS EG projects on a dedicated Windows Server machine. A few days ago, all of the projects scheduled stopped producing data or outputting logs, while the windows scheduler reports no errors.

Looking closer, VBS scheduling code produces the error attached in a debuging mode. Googling the error doesn't get me anywhere.

There has been no software modification on the server itslef and Windows Server logs are looking good too.

Any ideas why the projects may not be recognised by the VBS code now?

Regards,

Vasilij

I would speak with your IT, as that warning all seems to be around file i/o on that K drive. Could it be out of space, set to read only, not exist, have authorisation problems etc?

Hi @VasilijNevlev

Based on the error message, you may have some corrupted projects.

If you do not have backups, you can contact Technical Support or try this alternative http://optimalbi.com/blog/2012/10/26/recovering-corrupt-enterprise-guide-project-files/

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

We have found a solution. The scheduling user (batch user) connection profile got corrupted. While the error is saying that the problem is with the project itself, it actually refering to the corrupted profile.

Recreating SAS EG connection profile for the batch user solved the issue. The projects are running fine now.

Thak you @RW9 @Damo
