Hello Everyone,
I have been trying for sometime to start a SAS session using saspy in Jupyter Notebook. I have went through all troubleshooting and looked at questions posted by others but still I am unable to start a SAS session. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I created my sascfg_personal.py file as follows:
SAS_config_names=['oda']
oda = {'java' : 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Oracle\\Java\\javapath\\java.exe',
#US Home Region 1
'iomhost' : ['odaws01-usw2.oda.sas.com','odaws02-usw2.oda.sas.com'],
#US Home Region 2
#'iomhost' : ['odaws01-usw2-2.oda.sas.com','odaws02-usw2-2.oda.sas.com'],
#European Home Region 1
#'iomhost' : ['odaws01-euw1.oda.sas.com','odaws02-euw1.oda.sas.com'],
#Asia Pacific Home Region 1
#'iomhost' : ['odaws01-apse1.oda.sas.com','odaws02-apse1.oda.sas.com'],
#Asia Pacific Home Region 2
#'iomhost' : ['odaws01-apse1-2.oda.sas.com','odaws02-apse1-2.oda.sas.com'],
'iomport' : 8591,
'authkey' : 'oda',
'encoding' : 'utf-8'
}
Next, I created the _authoinfo file (made sure .txt was removed):
oda user myusername password mypassword
Finally, I ran the following code in jupyter notebook:
sas_session = saspy.SASsession()
sas_session
And I receive the following message:
Using SAS Config named: oda The OS Error was: The system cannot find the file specified SAS Connection failed. No connection established. Double check your settings in sascfg_personal.py file.
I'm thinking something maybe incorrect in my sascfg_personal.py file but I'm not sure what it is, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to double check, do you have Java installed on your machine in the location you are specifying in the SASpy configuration file?
"'java' : 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Oracle\\Java\\javapath\\java.exe'"

Thank you so much!!! That was my issue!!
