Hi Gerda, Unfortunately we don't have a log file that does that Some additional things that might help - looking in the SASCustIntelCore6.3.log and parse out the data items that are there SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\Web\Logs\SASServer6_1\ Using the sasmaextract utility to create an xml file http://support.sas.com/documentation/solutions/ci/6.5/en/PDF/ciintutilug.pdf From there it will requires manipulation of XML to get the data you want - you could use something like the SAS XML Mapper to translate into a SAS dataset and then query that dataset. Sincerely, Sunshine_sas

Hi, I see that you are having a problem with SAS Customer Intelligence Studio displaying DATEw. formats. I found an old defect regarding this and was wondering what is your business reason for using this format? Or is using the other formats a viable work around for you? What is the version of Customer Intelligence Studio you are using? Thank you, Sunshine_sas

Hi Barry, David is spot on. Additionally, in SAS 9.2 the name of the file was sdwprefs.txt. 35426 - Logs that can be used to troubleshoot SAS® 9.2 (TS2M0) installations Have a super day, Sunshine

Sunshine_sas · ‎08-25-2015

HI Barry, On Windows the quickest way is to open the sdwpreferences.txt file located in C:\Users\<userid_that_performed_install>\AppData\Local\SAS\SASDeploymentWizard and look for LastSSDDir=V\:\\9BBDNM 48928 - Troubleshooting the SAS® 9.4 installation process in a Windows operating environment Have a great day, Sunshine

Typically that means when you start SAS For example: Start>Programs>SAS>SAS 9.4 (English) Have a great day!

Announcing the “Creating Media on a Single-Sided DVD in a SAS ® 9.3 Windows Operating Environment” This paper is written for system administrators who want to create a single-sided DVD in a SAS 9.3 Windows operating environment for Basic installs only (SAS Foundation). The following instructions will help you to reduce the steps that are required to create a working DVD. This is especially useful in an environment such as a university setting, where it is necessary to create media for several users. See the attachment entitled” CreatingSingleMediaDVD.pdf” or you can obtain it from our FTP site. Another tip for administrators is to create a response file that the end users can use to perform the installation silently on their machine. For example: 1 st record the responses on a machine and then test the deployment. "path-to-depot\setup.exe" –deploy -record -responsefile "path-to-response-file\sdwresponse.properties" "path-to-depot\setup.exe" -responsefile "path-to-response-file\sdwresponse.properties" See Installation Note 37041, for Tips and techniques when performing a quiet deployment This is not supported on Windows 8 or Windows 2012 environments. If the status of this changes, we will update the SAS Deployment Support Communities web site. Please make sure to check the operating system and the revision/release of SAS 9.3 you are using to see if SAS is supported. To install on a PC after the DVD has been created and the response file is created, you can provide these steps to your colleagues: 1. From the start>Run or Search line have your end user run: D:\setup.exe -quiet -responsefile "C:\test\sdwresponse.properties" or D:\setup.exe -quiet -responsefile "C:\test\sdwresponse.properties" -wait * -wait is so that you see the process in the task manager to know whether the installation is complete (deploywiz.exe) 2. Periodically have them check the Task Manager to see if the deploywiz.exe option is gone, which means the installation has completed. 3. Verify the DeploymentSummary.html file to make sure there were no errors during the install process. C:\Program Files\SASHome\InstallMisc\InstallLogs\DeploymentSummary.html 4. If you need a report to show what is installed and licensed, run the sasinstallreporter3.sas report and have the end user send the report to you.

Hi there, This what happened...... The original order ###### did NOT have the Oracle product in the Depot (this can happen if depots are subsetted and do not include the product in question). I first checked the soi.html file to make sure SAS/Access to Oracle was part of the products. It was.....the soi.html file is located in <SAS Software Depot\install_doc\###### (where ###### is the order number)\ and then open the soi.html file. I then looked at the SAS Installation Data file that was being used - to make sure that I saw these items: SAS/ACCESS Interface to OLE DB *PRODNUM194 = ORACLEBNDL SAS/ACCESS ORACLE; and what the expire date was for 'PRODNUM194' which was fine Next I went to the SAS Software Depot\Products directory and looked for the 12byte for SAS\Access to Oracle - ORACLEBNDL and it was not there For example, it would look something like this: C:\SAS Software Depot\products\oraclebndl__93210__win__xx__sp0__1 I then did the same thing to the other depot, and it contained the oraclebndl in the products directory, the SAS Installation Data file was correct and so was the Software Order email. In conclusion the SAS/ACCESS to Oracle product was not part of the depot they were installing from. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Sunshine

Hi Martin, This is an old one but here is the answer in case your still looking You can take a look at Usage Note 40628: How to automate adding users and groups to a SAS® Metadata Repository http://support.sas.com/kb/40/628.html You might be specifically interested in the Sample Code for Generic File Import. Thank you and have a great day, Sunshine

Hi Jlevine, This is what I was able to find so far regarding BitLocker: How it might effect the Install: ------------------------------------------ We have seen cases where encyption software blocks the installation and configuration process for SAS. We have also seen cases, where the install may go okay, but then SAS will crash when you try to perform an initial launch after installing for the first time. With that said, we typically recommend that any encryption software be completely disabled or turned off prior to deploying SAS software. Please read this short overview in the documentation on SAS/SECURE and SAS Encryption here: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/secref/62092/HTML/default/viewer.htm#cryptotopic.htm http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/secref/63052/HTML/default/viewer.htm#titlepage.htm Using 3rd party encryption with or without SAS Encryption is going to cause SAS to be slower or crash. SAS Technical Support does not have any type of official statement regarding support and use of SAS 9.2 or SAS 9.3 on Windows 7 Bitlocker, or any other encryption software package. However, we have seen cases specifically where Bitlocker will block the installation\configuration process for SAS, or prevent SAS from launching. How it might effect performance: --------------------------------------------- SAS will most likely have a problem reading the data in the encrypted folder. While we do not have an official response regarding the use of third party encryption software with SAS we have seen many instances where SAS was not able to read the encrypted data set or file. Using 3rd party encryption software such as Bitlocker most probably not have a positive impact on SAS performance. In some cases it is severe enough to cause I/O errors and crash the SAS program. If you feel strongly about using Bitlocker you may want to first test the interaction with SAS to determine whether or not you will encounter a problem and if it will work in your environment. If there is a problem with using SAS with Bitlocker it is not something that SAS technical support can resolve or support. SAS/Secure will not encrypt the folder. SAS/Secure provides the following types of encryption: Over-the-wire encryption protects SAS data and data while in transit. Passwords in transit to and from SAS servers are encrypted or encoded. On-disk encryption protects data at rest. Passwords in configuration files and the metadata are encrypted or encoded. Configuration files and metadata repository data sets are also host protected. I hope this information is helpful. Have a wonderful day, Sunshine

Hi UFGator, Sorry for the delay in response. The workaround is the only way I know of. I do not have any exampes of the VBS or batch file that you mentioned. If you find a way to do this using the SCCM, please share it out here. I have not seen any way around this Best Regards, Sunshine

Hi Ejohn, There is a new SAS Note out there that covers this issue: http://support.sas.com/kb/44/495.html Have a wonderful weekend, Sunshine

Sunshine_sas · ‎04-18-2012

The two SAS Notes listed should do the trick. If for any reason they do not - open a track with Tech Support http://support.sas.com/ctx/supportform/createForm Best Regards, Sunshine

Sunshine_sas · ‎04-02-2012

Hi Warnerj, See if this SAS Note helps: http://support.sas.com/kb/42/691.html If not, you will probably want to open a track with Tech Support, and send the entire log showing what your doing. http://support.sas.com/ctx/supportform/createForm Thanks and best Regards, Sunshine
