SAS EG v 7.13 HF4 32-bit Project Runs on schedule but errors out and doesn't run SAS Code.

[DSeis]

I have a bunch of projects scheduled in EG that were running fine for months. In the past few weeks, the scheduler still initiates the project, but I get the attached error message, and the SAS code is never executed. Is there some settings I can change to get the project to run? See attached error statement.

This type of problem would be better handled by SAS Tech Support if you haven't done so already.

I did, but they just said it was probably due to some anti-virus software on my machine, which wasn't too helpful...

@DSeis  - Moved to Enterprise Guide Community for greater exposure. 

Also please check out my response on this post: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Error-code-on-running-SAS-EG-7-13-project-inbatc...

If you want to avoid the type of problem you have, moving to server-based scheduling is far more reliable.

@DSeis  - I suggest you arrange for your anti-virus software to be configured to exclude scans of .EGP files (EG Projects). If it fixes your problem then you have found the culprit. If it doesn't then obviously the problem is elsewhere.

Make sure you're running with the 32-bit version of CSCRIPT in your scheduled job.  Ex:

 %windir%\sysWOW64\cscript.exe "<path to project.vbs>"

If you're already doing that, then I agree with the suggestion to work with Tech Support.  You can expedite the diagnosis by collecting more detailed logs by turning on Application Logging (Tools->Options).  You'll have a CSCRIPTnnnn.log.txt file with more details to help.
