EG Project does not load fully

TAG — Thu, 11 Oct 2018 16:11:11 GMT

I go to open a project and the only visible part of all my past work is the drop down menu of process flows (found on top "ribbon"). The project tree is empty and any process flow I choose from the drop down shows up empty. I shut down the project and go to reopen and normally after 4-5 attempts it opens with all components visible. WHAT is going on? Can somebody please help me?

Is this a really big project?

The act of opening a project should not initiate a connection to a SAS session, but if it does in your case, is the connection process slow or does it prompt you for user/password?

I recommend taking this to SAS Tech Support. They will probably ask you to turn on Application Logging (in Tools->Options) to gather some diagnostic information.

Chris,

My project is not big (not sure how to gauge size but much larger projects in the past never saw this happen).

I always set up projects with the first flow named 'Autoexec' where libnames, options and relevant macros and formats are run right off the bat. In this sense a sas session is initiated upon opening the project, I guess.

Thank you 🙂

Solved.

Hot Fix 4 was not so hot after all.
