Sure, here are example steps that show how the EG automation interface is used to run a project (on a schedule in this case): In EG, click File->New->Project to create a new project. Click File->New->Program to create a new program. Copy/paste this code into your program: proc print data=sashelp.class; run; Click File->Save Project to save the EG project. Click File->Schedule <projectName>. Click OK in the scheduler dialog to dismiss it with defaults. (A EGScript1.vbs file will then be created in same directory as your .egp file, and a Windows Scheduled Task will be created that runs the EGScript1.vbs file.) Look in the same directory where your EG project file (.egp) was saved and locate the new EGScript1.vbs file (VBScript). Close EG. Double-click the EGScript1.vbs file to run it, or run it from command-line. Note: If you have 32-bit EG on 64-bit Windows, you'll need to run it from command-line via "c:\windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe <fullpath>\EGScript1.vbs". Re-open your saved .egp project in EG and confirm it ran (there is now an output node attached to the program in the process flow). Open the EGScript1.vbs file into a text editor to inspect and edit the VBScript code (ex. add commands similar to those I shared earlier for working with the Project Log). Close EG, re-run the EGScript1.vbs file again (with the desired edits), and confirm it performed the desired operations. You can manually run the EGScript1.vbs file or schedule it to be run in Windows Task Scheduler.   Casey ... View more

Hi @elwayfan446,   Actually, there is a way...  starting in EG 7.15, you can perform Project Log operations (enable/disable, get the log text, save to file, send email, or clear) via the EG automation interface. Here is an example of the Project Log related calls you could make in a VBScript (or PowerShell script, but different syntax):   Set objProjectLog = objProject.ProjectLog objProjectLog.Clear() ' Other optional operations 'objProjectLog.Enabled = True 'strProjectLog = objProjectLog.Text 'objProjectLog.SaveAs "c:\temp\projectLog.txt" 'toList(0) = "me@here.com" 'objProjectLog.SendMail "", "", toList, ccList, "my subject", "my body text"   A common use would be to add a Clear call to a scheduled .vbs file (and optionally save the project log out before clearing).   In a future release, we'd like to expose more options directly in the UI for automatically managing the size of the project log.   Casey ...

I see what you mean. In the example below, I reproduced in EG 7.15 HF2 by moving Program from Process Flow 2 to Process Flow 1 and Process Flow 1 was activated, yet the dropdown still has the label "Process Flow 2" and if you create a new item it goes in the source flow instead of the destination (the one being viewed)...     You can sync it back up by single-clicking any process flow item in the Project Tree view.   Sorry for the inconvenience. This issue should go away in our next major release.   Casey ... View more

You could use a clipboard inspector (ex. http://www.freeclipboardviewer.com/) to see if there is a lot of content being put on the clipboard for some reason (though wouldn't expect there to be). Otherwise, I suggest trying SAS Tech Support. I can't think of a reason why a local copy/paste operation would be that slow.   Casey ... View more

I have not been able to reproduce using EG 7.15 on two separate machines (Win7 and Win10, both x64) -- copy/paste (I tried in the editor and program nodes) is immediate for me.  As @JuanS_OCS suggested, I'd be curious to know if you are using a virtualized environment, since those do clipboard mapping, which might be contributing to what you are seeing.   I suggest opening a track with SAS Tech Support.   Casey ...
