Dear Community!   I am looking for a way to %include code from a github repository (several autocall macros). I can do so with a public repository, but what about a private repository?    We have had several discussions here on accessing git repositories directly and reading data from it (both data and code  or just macro code). But all these approaches require a public repository to have the links to the data/code code working (equivalent to the raw file button in github).  In this posting @ChrisHemedinger  has sketched out what I actually want to achive (first code fragment) ... and what I would like to avoid (second code fragment using the gitfn_*).   The problem is ... that the link to the raw file in a private repository gets an oauth token appended, but that changes over time. And private access tokens cannot be used in the same fashion (at least by the looks of it). Instead the wise internet suggest the use of a header ("Authentication: token TOKEN") for a similar access problem using curl.  In curl there is a nice option to do this ... but how to do this in SAS?   Just another piece of information: I am limited to the use of GitHub Enterprise and non public repositories. It could very well be that I am barking up the wrong tree ... maybe ssl authentication is the way to go. So, to cut it short:   Does anybody have any experience with accessing non public github repositories  under SAS and using  %include to source in autocall macros? (and is willing to share his expertise of course 😃)   Regards fja   ...

Dear community!   In short: Is it possible to access files on locally linked network shared when executing a program on a remote sas server? I do not happen to know any mechanism to access local network shares directly.   I would like to run locally stored sas programms and have them %include (or autocall) other local files on a remote sas server using EG 8.2. I do not have option to run sas locally nor is it convenient to have the files to be included stored on the server due to the limited git integration in EG.   Of course an %include statement executed on the remote sas server does not "see" code on the network shares linked to the local pc. On the other hand it is possible (e.g. with the import data task) to import data from those shares. The code generated uses files in a EG specific tmp directory (/var/opt ... saswork/SAS.work_[:hex:]_sepushsas000 in my case  (where [:hex:] is a 12 char hexadecimal).   Now as EG can do that on the fly: How would one create such files? Or could it be that they are simply copied over to the server using the magic of the CopyFile task? How would one find out what temp directory EG uses?   Cheers       ... View more
