If your SAS Metadata server is on a separate machine, I guess you have to go through the process I posted first.   All the pointer I gave you came from the SAS professional($) who help with our installation.  Our problem were the "Trusted for delegation" thing.    I'm sorry I'm out of idea on how to help you with this, but then techsupport at SAS is usually quick and easy.     Laurent ...

Hello,     As a Windows domain administrator, under Start  Control Panel  Administrative Tools  Active Directory Users and Computers, access the properties dialog box for the relevant account and grant the privilege. For example, if the spawner runs under the local system account, select the spawner host machine under Computers. On the Delegation tab (or the General tab), select the Trust this computer for delegation check box. Or, if the spawner runs under a service account, select that account under Users. On the Delegation tab (or the Accounts tab), select the Account is trusted for delegation check box. This setting is available only for service accounts that have registered service principal names.     Information source:   http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/bisecag/65011/PDF/default/bisecag.pdf   Chapître 2 page 18 : Trusted for Delegation   ...

Actually, as I understand it, an EGP file is a ZIP file, there is no real conversion, you just have to rename the file and replace .EGP by .ZIP.  I don't know how you "converted it", but I guess it's risky to go and modify any file in a project.   Anyway to convert it back to EGP, replace .zip by .egp and try to open it with eg... if it doesn't... well your modification has probably corrupted the project, hope you have a backup of the project.   Good luck! ...

Thanks, I always forget about those user modification file.  In our shop, we two SAS worlds, so to speak, one traditional on Unix and one EnterpriseBI on windows server.   On unix the admin still modify the holy sasv9.cfg...  but on Windows we use the config/Lev1/{SASApp}, so when I have to look at all our configs it take a little more work.   That said, we're looking to bring it all in one echosystem, it will be easier to manage.     Laurent  ...

Hello,   The same thing is possible under Windows  http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostwin/67962/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n1qr5dmzagn9krn1lt1c276963za.htm   You should also look at the cleanwork utility and schedule it a couple time a day.  It delete the work folder that aren't attached to a process, it happen not all the time but often.    I'd like to have an admin with such a care for the SAS users as most of us are tossed to the side... wow ssd drive for the work.   Good luck.   Laurent ...

Hello,   You configure it in the SASv9.cfg file form the detail about it go to http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostunx/67929/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n1fp5wzvkb61g4n11z6ro4tk6y8x.htm   To use more than one directory, you must put all your directories in a text file and the last line should be your choice of process method(random, space) and point -work toyourfile.    You could also use another directory for the sort procedure, SAS is I/O bound so spreading the use of disk acces across different file system speed up things ...

Hi,   If parallel processing is check all the program start simultaneous, so if one allocate the librairies, the other can't see those since they are running at the same time.    AS for the process flow with a bunch of programs, I always link the program in the order that they should run.   You have to open the project and go on then file menu-> properties -> code submission:     And to check if the program are link you look at the process flow: ...

Hi,   I would check in the Projet properties, in code submission if allow parallel  execution is checked.   After that I would check if every program are linked together properly.   This could resolve issue 2,3 and possibly 4.  Issue 1 however, I don't know what could cause it.     Laurent ...
