Hi Guys, can anyone share some of the examples for why a sas job fails in production environment from their experience?
For the same reasons that it would fail in any other environments. Things like:
- Syntax error
- Out of resources (memory, disk)
- File locking (i.e. EG session locking a SAS table)
- Missing permissions (i.e. SAS user trying to read/write to folder location but not having the required permissions)
- Refused connections (required SAS or DBMS server down)
- Network dropouts
- Virus scanner interfering (can for example result in "random" file locked errors)
- ....
