My batch script is 

 

"D:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1\SEGuide.exe" - SYSIN "C:\Users\#########\Project1.egp"

pause
exit

-sysin. I have attached screenshot. please help me out.

-sysin in a SAS context expects a text file containing SAS code. egp files are zip archives containing multiple xml files that describe the project.

 

The best way to automate the results of SAS development done in EG is to export all code to a .sas file and run that with sasbatch.sh (or sasbatch.bat) on the SAS server.

SEguide.exe does not support SYSIN -- that's a SAS.exe command option.

 

To automate SAS Enterprise Guide, you must use a scripting language such as VB Script or PowerShell.  We have several examples in this article.  In a script, you can load and run a series of project files and save the results -- all with scripting commands.

Hello @Jayakumar_sp,

 

I think you are not using EG properly to run EG projects in batch. The right way would be as described by @ChrisHemedinger here: https://blogs.sas.com/content/sasdummy/2012/04/17/doing-more-with-sas-enterprise-guide-automation/
