The update does not pop up every time for me either. Can't tell what internal SAS EG logical rules govern the pop-up. Seems like the program that receives the external edit needs to be open or needs to be changed internally without a save. Otherwise, not all linked external SAS programs in an SAS EG project receive pop-up notifications.
Our SAS EG Projects contain hundreds of linked external SAS programs. They get used in stages: create datasets, run analyses, create reports, etc. Only a small portion of the linked external SAS Programs get used at any given time depending on the stage of the project. It makes sense that external edits are not flagged if they are done to the programs that have not been opened in the current SAS EG session.
I would like to have a thorough documentation on the logic of the pop-up appearance.
Thanks SAS,
