SAS Multiprocessing/inherit meta library error

[SAS_user]

Hello,

I started Multiprocessing. Its very intresting.
But i can't inheritlib which is meta. (its the same when library is SPDS or BASE)
Any idea how i can workaround or fix this.

Here is my code.
/* library temp */

NOTE: Libref TEMP was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: META
Physical Name:

The code is:

signon _01 sascmd="!sascmd" inheritlib=(Work=locwork MacroLib=MacroLib temp=temp );

After i signon i get this eror:
ERROR 22-7: Invalid option name LIBRARY.

But after rsubmit it use library "temp" without erros:

data x;
set temp.F1DN;
run;

NOTE: There were 743 observations read from the data set TEMP.F1DN.
NOTE: The data set WORK.X has 743 observations and 5 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
real time 0.23 seconds
cpu time 0.03 seconds

Could you please share more of your code (lib assignments, signon and rsubmit script), because I don't see anything wrong about it.

Cheers from Portugal.

I suspect you're having trouble, because you're trying to inherit a "special" library (metadata engine) which is by definition a remote lib in the metadata server. So you're trying to remotely access a remote library.

For example, inheritlib will not work if you try to remote signon form another remote session (but will work fine if from within a local session).

Try to remove the testine from your script, and see if the problem persists.

Cheers from Portugal.

Thank You for your answer Daniel.

But if you look at my post more closely, You would see, that i use inherited library
and I use it successfully.

Here is code:
rsubmit _01 wait=no macvar=JOB01 signonwait=y persist=n;
data _null_;
set testine.Conf_action_types(obs = 10);
run;
endrsubmit;

and here is the log output:
NOTE: Remote submit to _01 commencing.

NOTE: There were 10 observations read from the data set TESTINE.CONF_ACTION_TYPES.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
real time 0.08 seconds

It's time to consider opening a SAS track (support issue) for your problem, providing detailed SAS code and SAS log information, to investigate/resolve your problem further.

How can i do that?

Yes, but this doesn't mean it's officially supported.
There are many SAS features available that are not yet fully supported.

You probably won't get that error if you remove the testine.

Scott is right, you should open a track to clarify this situation (if metalibs can be inherited or not, and if positive, why do you get this error).
