Hi,
Has anyone used control M scheduler to schedule enterprise guide projects. I have scheduled project with schedule prroject within SAS enterprise guide. If i have multiple projects that are dependent on one another how can i set it up to run one after other using control m. if you have any documents or experiance setting it up, pls share.
Regards,
Naveen
Enterprise Guide exists solely on your Windows desktop. So you would need to start with "How does Control M manage a Windows system?".
EG interfaces with the native Windows Scheduler via VB scripting to run projects.
I would not consider scheduling processes via desktops as sound practice. Instead I'd always try to use more reliable backend servers for scheduling.
In our organization we have:
- Control M on the mainframe
- SAS BI Server on a UNIX server
- Enterprise Guide on desktops
We do not schedule EG projects; instead we save production code 8developed in EG) as .sas files to the UNIX server and have that run in batch mode by Control M. As interface (between Mainframe and UNIX) we use locally built scripting that relies totally on out-of-the-box tools (ksh & openssh).
