After upgrading to 8.2, I tried to load a project with an AUTOEXEC process flow. I received an error:
The server "Local" is not defined in the current repository.
I could not find Local on my lists of servers, nor run any code. (Normally, I would have no other connection)
In the Connections Dialog: MenuBar >Tools > Connections > Server. I found the checkbox unchecked which reads "Automatically add local SAS server (if installed) to server list". I checked the box; my EG installation was then able to connect to the SAS local application.
I believe that this is all that needed to be done. But, full disclosure, I also followed instructions under "Register Base SAS® as the Local COM Server" in Usage Note 58761. It's not obvious to me that this did anything to help in this case.

It's finally time to hack! Remember to visit the SAS Hacker's Hub regularly for news and updates.
