Automating a SAS code from a server side

[ssaha]

I have a sas code which I need to schedule that has been exported from SAS EG project which consist of 8 programs.This sas code will generate a scatter plot which I need to export into a PDF file. So we are planning on scheduling this SAS code from a server side. Can I write a shell script so that we can schedule from server side?

Ideally, you make use of the sasbatch.sh script located in

sasconf/Lev1/SASApp/BatchServer

(sasconf = where your SAS server configuration is located)

The script accepts all commandline parameters you typically use for running SAS in batch (program name, -log for log, etc)

You can write your own wrapper script like

/sasconf/Lev1/SASApp/BatchServer/sasbatch.sh /programs/myprog.sas -log /logs/myprog.log

and have that executed from the scheduler

Thanks for your reply. I need to automate it for last sunday of every month. This automation should be done from the scheduler or I can add an extra command to the script?

Timing and dependencies should be handled by the scheduler, that is what it's for.
