SAS Enterprise Guide - Scheduling issue

ScottJP — Fri, 08 Sep 2017 13:45:16 GMT

Hello - I've scheduled a SAS project, which has 35 steps/scripts, to run on our SAS server. I have scheduled a number of other flows, and they all work fine.

If I run the process flow manually by clicking run, it runs fine.

If I schedule the project, only the 34th script will run! I can't see how/why this is happening. Task Scheduler gives no error, and the VBScript the EG creates is below (which looks fine/normal to me).

In the project log, there are no errors or warnings for the scripts that don't run, only a note.

The LOG for one of the scripts that doesn't run is also below..

Has anyone had this before? I don't know why it will only run one script and forget about the others in the flow, especially as the one that runs is near the end of the flow. I've deleted and recreated the schedule about 5 times but it does the same thing each time. Any help is gratefully received! 🙂

Any success with other projects?
