[ambadi007]

Hi Team,

I have a job flow which is written earlier and now the client asking to automate that job in prod server and make the schedule for running that job . they need to trigger the job with out the SAS access , Is there any way to do so? IS there any machanism to run the SAS jobs with out accessing SAS server?

Thanks

Hi, Manesh

You may have a few concepts mixed up. SAS programs always run on the SAS software; when it's a machine separate from your workstation, that's referred to as a SAS server. Your client probably wants you to run your software on the server, without using Enterprise Guide.

To do this, create a file of the SAS code that's in your project. You can use the "Export All Code In Project..." task to do this. Once you have a single piece of code, talk to your SAS administrator about where it should be saved on the server, and what software your organization uses to schedule jobs. You can then set up the schedule with that product.
