Is there a way to send the logs for an entire egp file to an alternate location?  Currently, when running an egp file in an opened SAS EG session, in order to see all the logs, after the run, you have to double click on each little widget (the query builder, the sort, the hand-coded sas programs, etc).

What I want instead is for ALL logs from all widgets in the project to get routed somewhere else (to the location of my choice).  I have tried running a piece of SAS code in an Autoexec process flow to run the following line of code, but that didn't work:  %LET LOGPATH = "/server/MyFiles/logs/MyLog.log";

 

I don't care if it writes all logs compiled into one file, or a separate log file for each widget - I just want a way to capture all logs from the egp file runs.

And this has to be in an automated fashion. It is not an option for me to click on each widget after each run and save the logs. I need a way for them to automatically go to a specific location.

Have you looked at the Project Log?  You can also automatically export this log as a step, I believe.

Yes! This worked. First I turned on the log via Properties - Project Properties. And yes, I was able to export as a step. The questions I have now is

1) How to get the Project Log to clear automatically with each run, rather than a person having to manually go in and click "Clear Project Log".

2) How to name the project log uniquely with each run when it exports.
