Hi all
Hopefully someone could assist me on this as I am kind of stuck. Suppose I have a project file called: myproject.egp saved in C:\desktop with multiple embedded programs: myprogram1 myprogram2 myprogram3.
All I want to do is just run myprogram2 at a specific time later at 5pm. My SAS project is already opened so I all I require is to just let it run that program in that opened session. Afterwards, it should save. Could anyone suggest a way to do so? Thanks in advance!
Regards
Gareth
If it helps I am currently trying to modify the following script generated by EG's scheduler to suit my needs
Option Explicit
Dim app
Call dowork
'shut down the app
If not (app Is Nothing) Then
app.Quit
Set app = Nothing
End If
Sub dowork()
On Error Resume Next
'----
' Start up Enterprise Guide using the project name
'----
Dim prjName
Dim prjObject
prjName = "C:\Desktop\myproject.egp" 'Project Name
Set app = CreateObject("SASEGObjectModel.Application.5.1")
If Checkerror("CreateObject") = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'-----
' open the project
'-----
Set prjObject = app.Open(prjName,"")
If Checkerror("app.Open") = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'-----
' run the project
'-----
prjObject.run
If Checkerror("Project.run") = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'-----
' Save the new project
'-----
prjObject.Save
If Checkerror("Project.Save") = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'-----
' Close the project
'-----
prjObject.Close
If Checkerror("Project.Close") = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Function Checkerror(fnName)
Checkerror = False
Dim strmsg
Dim errNum
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
strmsg = "Error #" & Hex(Err.Number) & vbCrLf & "In Function " & fnName & vbCrLf & Err.Description
'MsgBox strmsg 'Uncomment this line if you want to be notified via MessageBox of Errors in the script.
Checkerror = True
End If
End Function
It may be a lot easier just to export your embedded program and schedule it separately. If you only have a remote SAS server then you would need to schedule it on there. SAS Management Console provides scheduling capabilities but it does depend on how scheduling has been configured at your site.
