Sas viya 3.4 cli job error

[Spinnafio]

Dear All,

I have to run some jobs using the command line interface in sas viya 3.4.

I followed the steps in the official documentation, for the creation and execution of jobs but their execution failed.

I have similar jobs with same code, created in SASJobExecution and they work fine there.

An example of the job definition template that I used is:

{
    "name": "try",
    "type": "Compute",
    "code": " cas casauto  host='xxx' port=5570 ; caslib _all_ assign; proc printto log='/yyy/try1_log.txt' print='/yyy/try1_log.txt' new;run; data _null_; run; proc printto; run; cas casauto terminate;"
}

(the code is just a toy example that creates a cas session and writes some log in a file).

The relative job request is 

{
    "version": 0,
    "name": "try1",
    "description": "try1",
    "jobDefinitionUri": "/jobDefinitions/definitions/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx",
    "arguments":null,
    "properties": null
}

do you have any ideas or suggestions to solve this problem?

In order to better understand the problem, please use sas-admin command with "--verbose" option . To assist you, please include in your reply the exact sas-admin command as well as the output of the command.

The command that i used was:

sas-admin --verbose job requests execute --id fff24617-a773-4675-9f78-934f4d07df7d

the output i receved was : ( I coverd the host and the user with some x)

Executed the job request "fff24617-a773-4675-9f78-934f4d07df7d"

The last line in the log indicates that the job execution started. Open SAS Viya Environment Manager and switch to the "Jobs" screen. You should see each job executed and the job log. Check the job log and look for errors.

[Spinnafio]

The job executed doesn't appear there.

[RegevH]

Would you like to try the examples in the following link ? You might find there the information that will lead you to solve the problem with job execution.
https://github.com/sassoftware/devsascom-rest-api-samples/blob/master/Compute/jobExecution.md

[Spinnafio]

I looked at those examples and I noticed that I didn't specified the following arguments in the job request

 "arguments":{
	"_apslist":"_debug,_clientname,_userlocale",
	"_debug": "log",
	"_clientname": "SASJobExecution",
    "_contextName": "SAS Job Execution compute context",
	"_userlocale": "en_US"
	},

After this correction, the job created runs correctly from the Environment Manager but it didn't work from the Command Line interface.

So I guess the problem is the lack of some arguments but I didn't find any documentation about them.

[RegevH]

We can execute jobs either using CLI (sas-admin) or using REST API . Try to execute a job definition that was created using SAS Environment Manager.
Note: The sas-admin CLI is actually using the REST API (issues HTTP calls to SAS Viya services) and provides a subset of the full REST API.

I solved the problem, thanks for your support.

The problem was in the CLI of sas viya. I installed the last version (the ones for viya 3.5) and now it works fine.
