Extract SP Execution properties

[AnjaliNair]

Hello All,

I want to extract the following execution property of a Stored Process.

I have tried Proc STP; list group=executtion; run; but could only get the following properties:

How can I find out the server type on which the SP is to be executed?

Note: I want to produce a SAS data set listing all properties of SAS Stored Process, including the above property I mentioned.

Thanks in Advance,

Anjali

Here you go:

%let path_to_my_stp="/some/path/mySTP";

data _null_;
  length uri type serveruri $256.;
  path="&path_to_my_stp";
  if metadata_pathobj("",path,"StoredProcess",type,uri)>0 then 
    call symputx('uri',uri);
run;

data associations;
  keep assoc assocuri name;
  length assoc assocuri name $256;
  rc1=1;n1=1;
  do while(rc1>0);
    /* Walk through all possible associations of this object. */
    rc1=metadata_getnasl("&uri",n1,assoc);
    rc2=1;n2=1;
    do while(rc2>0);
      /* Walk through all the associations on this machine object. */
      rc2=metadata_getnasn("&uri",trim(assoc),n2,assocuri);
      if (rc2>0) then do;
        rc3=metadata_getattr(assocuri,"Name",name);
        output;
      end;
      call missing(name,assocuri);
      put arc= rc2=;
      n2+1;
    end;
    n1+1;
  end;
run;
proc sort data=associations;
  by assoc name;
run;


data attrprop;
  keep type name value;
  length type $4 name $256 value $32767;
  rc1=1;n1=1;type='Prop';
  do while(rc1>0);
    rc1=metadata_getnprp("&uri",n1,name,value);
    if rc1>0 then output;
    n1+1;
  end;
  rc1=1;n1=1;type='Attr';
  do while(rc1>0);
    rc1=metadata_getnatr("&uri",n1,name,value);
    if rc1>0 then output;
    n1+1;
  end;
run;
proc sort data=attrprop;
  by type name;
run;

By the way - the above code was taken from our free SAS 9 web application for exploring metadata - you can check it out and deploy it yourself, it's the web equivalent of METABROWSE:  https://github.com/Boemska/metanav

On the off-chance that you're extracting all these details so you can make your own STP, programmatically - let me save you some time:

Hello Allan,

Thank you so much for your quick reply.

I executed the provided code, it is giving me all properties except the one I mentioned, which is to see the how a particular stored process is configured to execute on which server - Workspace, SP or default.

Thanks in Advance,

Anjali

I suggest deploying the metanav application to see how to extract this info:  https://github.com/Boemska/metanav

You can try running this using PROC HTTP, and then use DATA step code to parse the HTML that is returned:

http://server:port/SASStoredProcess/guest?_debug=list

It provides some of the properties of all stored processes on the system.  Execute the URL using a Web browser to see the properties that are returned.
