ERROR: Procedure TIMESERIES not found.

niam — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 17:55:26 GMT

Hello;

I just installed SAS 9.4, but it seems that I can not run timeseries procedure on it. The title of the post is exactly the error message I get, below is the exact code I am running.

Did I mess something during the installation process?

Thanks in advance

Time series is part of the ETS package which you may not have a license to.

Run

proc setinit;run;

If you SAS/ETS listed then you do have a license and missed something in the install.

Otherwise you don't have a license to it.

I ran the setinit procedure, I have the SAS/ETS package installed, I re-did the installation, there is no errors during the process, yet I still get the same error message. I can not also access the datasets in a sashelp library. Does it mean that there is something wrong with the local directory in which SAS stores some of its procedures and datafiles?

There are two factors here: Licensed vs Installed. A particular SAS product (SAS/ETS eg.) could be in one of the four status: 1. Licensed AND Installed 2. Licensed AND NOT Installed 3. NOT Licensed AND Installed 4. NOT Licensed AND NOT Installed.

For license info: proc setinit;run;

For Installation info: PROC PRODUCT_STATUS;RUN;

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the response

I ran the PROC PRODUCT_STATUS;RUN; this is what I get:

For Base SAS Software ...

Custom version information: 9.4

Image version information: 9.04.01M0P061913

For SAS/STAT ...

Custom version information: 12.3 (maintenance)

For SAS/GRAPH ...

Custom version information: 9.4

For SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files ...

Custom version information: 9.4

NOTE: PROCEDURE PRODUCT_STATUS used (Total process time):

real time 0.80 seconds

cpu time 0.03 seconds

But for the proc setinit;run; I get this:

System birthday: 17SEP2013.

Operating System: WX64_WKS.

Product expiration dates:

---Base SAS Software

31AUG2014

---SAS/STAT

31AUG2014

---SAS/GRAPH

31AUG2014

---SAS/ETS

31AUG2014

Does this mean that the product is licensed but not installed? Shall I contact my company's tech support who ordered SAS for me to place an additional order or it has already been paid for and the problem is with installation?

YES.

Shall I contact my company's tech support who ordered SAS for me to place an additional order or it has already been paid for and the problem is with installation?

YES , you should contact your boss and have whoever installed SAS for you fired. Just kidding. Yeah, talk to your tech support, have them to install this part for you, using SAS deployment manager, installation should be a piece of cake. It should be shipped already, located in the "depot". It does not require another order or delivery from SAS.

Good luck,

I asked the Technical staff to help me with this, we unistalled SAS and re-installed it and during the installation process, made sure the select SAS ETS. the closest option was ETS for JUMP. Still no luck! we will contact SAS and ask for their help. This is really frustrating, I have been working with SAS for many years now and this is the first time that this happens!

Since 9.3 you are getting a SID file that one is describing your specific installation according your license. Within that one the old setinit is imbedded.

When this SID file is not consistent you can get a difference on installed and licensed components.

In the very old days it was possible to select SAS prodcuts using some CD's. That has changed as now it using is a installation depot.

The depot should have been buildup using all involved SID files.

For the sake of reliability and simplicity it would be smarter to install all components and limit the use by the setinit.

Sizing/storage on this application/program should not be the biggest issue. In that case one (limited several) would fit for all,

Release management however is a big issue, requirements with testing and fallback are common. IT looks to be you have a standalone approach.

When SAS-base is installed, it is spread in a lot of different directories (look for SAShome). What to do with that:

- one of them is kept with all installed parts. there is way to print/list that information. (ETS) should be there.

- you can run a SAS job that should produce results for all the products the same as was done at SAS .

This won't help you to validate your programs and SAS. It will tell you something of the copy process (deployment wizard)

- there is also a configuration part containing an autoexec.sas and config.sas. The config.sas should refer to your installation .

When a wrong config.sas is involved you can get strange results. Some people are really changing that in a wrong way.

The SAS package was not installed correctly, had to ask the IT staff to re-install the complete package. Problem resolved.
