Begining of session action and end session processing

[GailVanCourt]

My SAS (EG) Session is dropped during execution of my program.   Any suggestions to determine why, or where to look for answers.  The SAS LOG is not available after the session is dropped.

How long does your session stay active before it drops - is it always the same duration? This is probably due to network (TCP/IP) or firewall timeout rules. For example:

There may also be stay-alive settings in SAS Management Console that can help here - talk to your SAS Admin. This thread explains where to look:
