Scheduling a SAS job to execute after every 5 min

[ankit___gupta]

The SAS Management Console only allows scheduling of Deployed SAS Jobs only at an hourly basis. But i have a requirement in which data need to be pulled every 5 mins.

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

You can add multiple time events for deployed jobs,

So in your scenario, you have to create total 12-time events,

In this way, you can fulfill your requirement.

here is the screenshot for your reference:

1.) Create total 12-time events like this(eg:00-5-10-15-20........45-50-55)

2.) After creating that all time events, schedule the flow like this:

For the specific SAS Management Console verion that i'm waorking on displays the time events as list hence you cannot apply one time event at a time. Therefore i cannot apply your solution.

My SAS Management Console version is 9.4.

@Kalind_Patel What is your SAS Management Console version ?

I am using SAS 9.4 M3,

Please change the scheduling server from operating system services to SAS DIP Job Runner,

I am using SAS DIP Job Runner for this JOB,

You can change this by:

Go to Schedule Manager> right click on Deployed Job> set Scheduling Server

Why not just write a program that wakes up every 5min or so and does the deed.

A more general answer for any SAS user/admin is well described here: http://blogs.sas.com/content/sgf/2013/08/14/four-ways-to-schedule-sas-tasks/

Hi Ankit,

You can run or schedule the SAS jobs as per your requirements.

If you are using the Linux o/s then you can perform the same task by using crontab.

OR 

if you are using the windows o/s then you can do the same by using windows task scheduler.
