User SAS Session vs batch jobs session

[sathya66]

All,

When end users open a SAS Session(ex: EG) , SAS creates a work and util folder to process temp data and some for util procedures (ex:/saswork/SAS_workEAB0001_Server.com and /saswork/SAS_UtilEAB0001_Server.com). is it same for batch jobs? is it uses same location (/saswork) to process temp data?

Thanks,

SS

Depends on the cfg-files used to start the session. It could be the same directory, but it is not that likely, that in both cases WORK is created in the same location.

If your setup has been done correctly, and you use BatchServer/sasbatch.sh, then this should be the same, as any changes to WORK and UTILLOC would have been made one directory closer to root (SASApp or equivalent), from where both BatchServer and WorkspaceServer inherit the settings.

If you are using vanilla install with no changes, yes it should be the same. If users are running batch jobs from command line they have the option to override these values by creating a copy of these files in the home folder. However you can lock this behavior using the system option mentioned in this link.
