SAS Guide 4.3 versus MS Office - Excel - SAS

[FlavioBB3]

question:
Because when you open SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3> Servers> SASApp folders appear:
. Libraries
. Files

and to open the Microsoft Office> Excel> SAS> SAS Data> Servers> SASApp appear
folders:
. MAPS
. SASHELP
. SASUSER
. STP Samples
. WORK

questions:
1 - because the folders that appear in the SAS 4.3 and MS Office Excel are different?
2 - is to match the folders open in Excel with those opened in SAS 4.3?

Sincerely,

A novice in Sas

Under Libraries in your first one does it match what you see in Excel?

[FlavioBB3]

What I see in libraries Excel librareis and different from what I see in SAS:

Below I see the libraries in SAS:

Servers

- SASApp
   - Libraries
     + EU
     + MAPS
     + SASHELP
     + SASUSER
     + STP Samples

     + WORK
  + Files

Flavio,

Perhaps difficult to explain as you are probably commonly used to see one computer / one environment your Windows desktop.

With Eguide (and AMO) you get access to three additional environments.

The difference between AMO and Eguide should be minimal when using the same credentials/startup.

1/ Libraries.

  That are all type of tables. If you have used the old DMS approach you will miss the SAS-catalogs.
  What is delivered off this depends on you (host/dbms) authorized access to these tables.

  SASUSER is normally missing (hidden . read-only)  with Eguide.

  The differences AMO/Eguide could be indicating you have used a different key or startup code

2/ Files.

  This is very similar to the Windows explorer but is running at the server side.   

  What is delivered off this depends on you (server side) authorized access and the home - starting point (MyDocuments) on the server.

  Be amazed you can drag and drap files from windows explorer to this part in Eguide. A not very visible with menus upload feature.

3/ SAS metadatafolders

  This an other dedicated area with a similar lay-out of folders/maps. You could save your EG projects there (save as select server) in the same way as with windows-desktop.

Finding a file/librarie in this with a helpfull naming convention could help to see what is happening (use properties if available)
