Nick, I've tested it in 5.1 and had no problem. And I know that others here at SAS have used it as well. Does the task show up in the menu when you put the DLL in %appdata%\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\5.1\Custom ? If you continue to have problems, open a tech support track. This particular task won't be supported officially, but if you're having trouble we should get to the bottom of it. So if you open a track, mention this thread and my name to make sure that I get pulled into the loop, and we'll figure it out. Chris

Thanks Chris. As I'm writing a paper on the different ways to open a data with EG, I was writing the advantages and limits of the use of the FIle > open menu and I imagined that a local table could not queried by a remote server if the server does not see the path of this table. that's consistent when you think of the old principle of SAS/CONNECT. I was puzzled / gobsmacked when I directly queried the local without to have uploaded it with the Upload wizard (as you can see the snapshot in my first post).

You might try to remedy that issue with this note: http://support.sas.com/kb/34/194.html Chris

Thanks Cynthia, This makes a lot of sense now.

Thanks Chris, Can you confirm if SAS EG 5.1 (or whatever it ends up being called) will be compatible with 4.3 custom tasks? Nick

Makes sense. Really appreciate your commitment and customer focus.

SAS Enterprise Guide customers who are familiar with PROC IMPORT to read Excel files often ask about this. Here is a blog post that explains it. http://blogs.sas.com/sasdummy/index.php?/archives/258-Behind-the-scenes-importing-Excel-files-using-SAS-Enterprise-Guide.html Chris

There is a new hotfix available for SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3. You can download it from here: http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/C44.html#C44006 This hotfix can be applied to the distribution of EG labeled "4.305" in the software deployment registry. (See http://support.sas.com/kb/35/968.html for an explanation for how to determine this.) If your version is "4.3", there is a matching hotfix available for you as well: http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/D18.html#D18006 Note: "4.3" and "4.305" are the same version of EG 4.3 -- the 4.305 version added support for additional non-English languages.

(cross-posting from the Enterprise Guide discussion forum) It can be done...using this custom task: http://blogs.sas.com/sasdummy/index.php?/archives/245-Using-ODS-Graphics-Designer-with-SAS-Enterprise-Guide-4.3.html Chris

Hi Cameron , The implementation you have mentioned is what I need... I need to get PID , session login time , log off time , userID etc. But I dont have any idea about how I can get these for every EG session ? If you can help me , I will be realy grateful. Thank you Selçuk.

Two things to try: 1. Open your data set (from the server library) first, and then try to run the task. 2. View your connection profile (double-click on the profile link in the status bar on the bottom right corner in EG). Look at the Servers tab in the Connections window. Make sure that "Automatically add Local SAS server to the list..." is NOT checked. Are you trying this with a local SAS data set file? If so, copy the data to the server first by using Tasks->Data->Upload SAS Data Sets. Chris

Frisco, Use the one for the 64-bit machine. The installers contain the same exact content, but they are built differently for the different machines. Note: regardless of the installer, EG is a 32-bit application. Chris

Patrick · ‎12-02-2010

Yep, I fully agree. EG is an analysts tool! The only issue I have: It's now also promoted as a developers tool and therefore new SAS deployments don't even install PC SAS anymore (and not everybody got DIS).
