Impact Of OS upgradation in the behaviour of SAS

[vijayanand]

Hi,

We have SAS installed in the Linux machine and the user connect to this Linux server using SAS/Connect. Now, the Windows Operating System in the users PCs' was upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10. 

With this upgrade , the below statement is demanding the Fully Qualified Host Name of the server instead of a simple hostname.  Any specific reason for this.

%let rmtsrv= servername port;

Also, the libname statements with simple hostname like  "/servername/abcd/xxxx/zzzzz"  are failing now with the Windows 10 upgrade.

Neither the  fully qualified host name in the libname is working.

Also, we have an interface/set up called SAMBA with which the Linux server can be accessed as a windows server. 

Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

Thanks,

VIjayanand.

Can you still use the short hostname from the cmd window, eg in a ping?

If UNC's don't work any longer from the local SAS session, these might not be available and need to be reconfigured.
