I use SAS EG 7.15 and i run data from my organisation server. Since last week or so i have found a dramatic increase in time for running the same codes. The odd thing is : when i run a code i can see in the status bar (see below the picture) the different SAS functions to change quickly (for example, data, proc sql etc.). However, when the program comes to the end and moves to the "complete" phase it takes unusual time to complete this phase.
For example, i have a file which is my set up and i use it to load libraries and formats. It used to take less than 10 sec. to run it. However, now it takes 5 min. for the same file and most of the time the status is in the "Complete" phase
Any idea, advise will be welcome
Please contact your local sas admins, they should be able to investigate the problem further.
Set your EG to not automatically open resulting datasets and resulting output. And try to keep your logs clean and short, as those are always retrieved completely upon completion of a submit.
You can add fullstimer option to the code and check the logs. This will give an idea about the issue.
However this is in all probability due to some change at the infrastructure level. Multiple teams may be involved. Seek the help of the SAS Administrator.
