Dears,

 

My SAS profile suddenly got assigned a TEMP folder path and now everything gets reset with each new session.

 

I tried deleting and adding the user from Management Console but my user specifically gets this path assigned: C:\Users\TEMP\Documents\My SAS Files\9.4

 

While other Users, new or old, get their own folder name within the shared disk. 

 

How can I solve this?

Have you created sasv9.cfg file in your user's Documents folder?

 

It seems like your user specific sasv9.cfg file is overriding the default options.

Thank you for your reply Kalind,

 

I did not manually do that, no.

 

Do you think an automatic one was created? 

 

Can you please guide me to where would I find this sasv9.cfg file related to my user, usually?

 

Regards,

Ahmad

Run the following command:

proc options; 
run;

And check the following values in output "Config file Name:", that's your sasv9 configuration file location.

This is what I get when I search for CONFIG, I looked in the .cfg file and it didn't have anything weird. 
 
  CONFIG=( "D:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\WorkspaceServer\sasv9.cfg" "D:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\sasv9.cfg" 
 "D:\SAS\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sasv9.cfg" "D:\SAS\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\en\sasv9.cfg" 
 "D:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\sasv9_usermods.cfg" "D:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\WorkspaceServer\sasv9_usermods.cfg" )
                    Specifies the configuration file that is used when initializing or overriding the values of SAS system options.

What version of SAS are you using?  Where is SAS running? On your local machine?  Or some windows server?  If not running on a windows then why would you use a path that starts with C:?

 

Or are you talking about some Enterprise Guide user profile?

 

Either way it looks a lot like the windows machine has forgotten who you are and so is setting your "home" directory to a temp folder.  The solution might be to fix your account settings for windows and so might not have anything to do with EG or SAS.

I believe it's SAS 9.2, and is running on a Windows Server.

 

C: drive is where they have allocated storage for SAS users in the server. 

 

I will try talking to IT to explore the possibility that it's a Windows issue, I hope it works (fingers crossed).

 

Thanks Tom!

IT couldn't solve this and they believe it's from the SAS Management Console settings.

can anyone help me see if there's anything that can be changed in the Autoexec file below that can solve this issue?

How to Set Up Different Root Directories
SAS Studio users access their files and folders from the Server Files and Folders
section in the navigation pane. The root directories in this section are determined by the
settings in SAS Management Console.
To set up different root directories:
1. Open SAS Management Console.
2. On the Plug-ins tab, expand the Server Manager folder, and then expand the nameof-workspace-server folder.
3. Right-click the name-of-workspace-server – Workspace Server folder and select
Properties. The Properties dialog box appears.
4. Click the Options tab and click Advanced Options. The Advanced Options dialog
box appears.
5. Click the File Navigation tab to set these options:
• SAS User Root displays your home directory (for UNIX and z/OS
environments) or your My Documents folder (for Windows environments) from
the Server Files and Folders section. SAS User Root is the default setting.

 

 

To recap: 

My issue is that my user's "User Root" is set to TEMP (Temporary folder that gets deleted after each session) for some reason while all other users get their own User Folders and are permanent.
