Hi masters!
I have 3 sas projects in EG with extension .egp and i want automatize the start of the last 2 projects. When the first project finish i want to execute the next project and then the next automatically, how can i do this task?
I execute the projects in a Server. In EG I tried to call to another projects with the next statement CALL SYSTEM and from this statement i call to the file vbs that I created in the SAS EG scheduler. The log dont show any error but the project was not started
Kind regards
Won't do. Your projects are run by EG on the client, while the code derived from the projects is executed by the SAS sessions on the server.
Once your automation needs reach this stage, you should save everything as code to the server, and run the codes on the server from the server's scheduler (or the company-wide scheduler, if such is present).

Thx @Kurt_Bremser

Hi Juan,
Check this community entry https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Re-How-to-schedule-SAS-EG-Project/td-p/204954,
it may answer your question.
Most likely for situation like your, you'll have to use a Scheduling Tool that, which could a simple scripting language, to a sophisticated Scheduling Tool with GUI and dependency and errors handling, ....etc.
Thanks,
Ahmed
You can use the scheduling options from Enterprise Guide to schedule projects and then run all projects in succession from the scheduler, but you don't run one project from SAS code of another project submitted by EG. That's like scratching your right ear with your left hand through your legs.
But I STRONGLY advise to start running SAS code in batch on the server with a proper scheduling tool. Really. I mean it.
