app.SetActiveProfile in EG 8.1

[cmcewen]

The following code used to work for the vbscript generated by the scheduler function for SAS EG 7.1, but no longer works as is with the upgrade to 8.1. Basically, I need to set my active profile to a different profile besides my default. Was there any change to this process with the upgrade to 8.1? 

Set app = CreateObject("SASEGObjectModel.Application.8.1")
app.SetActiveProfile("Profile2")

You could have an issue with your SASEGScripting.DLL (i.e. create object on SASEGObjectModel.Application.8.1 is missing). What is the error message?

That's the breadcrumb I needed. I'm now figuring out that part, but thank you!

Not a problem, I had a similar issue a few months ago when I was attempting to schedule code via vbs script.

cheers,

The SetActiveProfile function is not working anymore in the Enterprise Guide 8.1 scripting dll, due to a known bug. See Note 65291: A function call to change the active profile in a VBS file when scheduling a SAS® Enterp....

Our workaround is to first set the desired active profile in the Eguide 8.1 GUI application (i.e. not programmatically) and then run the vbs code.
