Schedule a SAS Task using Task scheduler in Windows 7

[Doc_Duke]

Please provide the commands you are running in the scheduler.

"sample.bat" file i have created with the following information below:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SAS\Enterprise Guide 4\SEGuide.exe" -SYSIN \\duk2csr0026\cm\wns\Test\TEST_SA\Merging1.sas -NOSPLASH -ICON -PRINT \\duk2csr0026\cm\wns\Test\TEST_SA\test.lst –LOG \duk2csr0026\cm\wns\Test\TEST_SA\test.log

and attached this with the windows7 scheduler to run.

scheduler commands are : ----

Create basic task - name & descripiton

Trigger - Daily & time to run

Action - start a program

Program/script - browsed and attached

Finish.

You can't run EGuide that way.  If you want to run EGuide on a schedule, select file --> schedule from inside EGuide.

i am working on sas 9.1 with the EG version of 4.1 and couldnt found anything

select file --> schedule from inside EGuide.

here is an EGuide 5.1 image.  If you can't find something similar in your version, call SAS Tech Support.

Since I no longer have that version, I can only suggest that you read the help or call tech support.

I too, am having an issue scheduling in SAS. I go to file -> Schedule Project and everything seems to set up fine. However, the project runs but without actually running the process flow within SAS. Here is what I am using to schedule the task:

Program/Script - C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe

Add Arguments - "E:\Documents\CareCall\GCI\GCIF\EGScript4.vbs"

Start in - E:\Documents\CareCall\GCI\GCIF

Like I said, the tasks starts and ends without a hitch, but the process flow isn't executed and files are not updated.

You probably want to call tech support.  I just created and ran a test project on my desktop and it ran fine
