It's kind of in between 'business critical' and pet. I want to update 2 dashboards, that show running data from production. I am updating them manually now, but want it to be automatic. Kind regards Poul ... View more

I am sorry, but you missed me there. I set EG up to start in the Scheduler in Win 7. I did not launch it via a VBS script, - that I know of. But perhaps the Scheduler creates a VBS anyway? Is that what you mean?   Regards Poul ... View more

Thanks, the unblocking did it. Looks great. What I wanted. Poul R S ... View more

Hi, thanks for pointing me to the extension/add-in. Maybe I am just not understanding the instructions (fairly simple though) or something is wrong. My EG version is 6.1. The installation is sitting in a folder called C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\6.1, - so that is where I create the 'custom' folder as a subfolder. Then I extract the contents of the downloaded *.zip file in a temporary folder. There are 3 files there: Readme.txt, SAS.Tasks.Examples.CatalogExplorer.dll, and a new *.zip file called SASTasksCatalogExplorer_Src.zip.   Following the instructions I should copy all 3 of them into the new 'custom' folder, it being a subfolder of the ...\6.1\ - folder. Right?   Done that, but the addin does not show up in the Add-in tab in EG 6.1.   So is 6.1 not included in the version that it works for, or am I just missing something.   Regards Poul R S ...

Hi community, I found this post when searching for the behaviour of the gseg catalog (I just used 'gseg' in the search field). My trouble is the following: I have lots of SAS programs that create assemblies of graphs that I combine using greplay. I rely on the names of the graphs to be in the (odd!) sequence of gplot, gplot1, gplot2 etc. In order for this to work, I need to be able to delete all the entries of the gseg catalog before a new set of entries are created (with the same names as before). I hope this is understandable.   From the post I can see how it works. Thank you. But, In my internal folder 'explorer' I cannot see the graph catalog. Its name does not appear. I ran the example in the post and everything was as displayed, however there is no catalog with the name 'mycars' in work.   I am missing a point here, but what?   Regards Poul R S ... View more

Hi all, greatful for your thoughts!! Thanks. The advice(s) for/against opening the xcmd access seems to hit some sore spots. Some advocate for, others against. So far, I succeeded in making my admin confused, as he did not quite understand the request. I will try to explain to him, what it is. The examples in SAS Filesystem Toolbox - sasCommunity work; I can get example 5 to run quite easily. However the real interesting one, and the one resembling the functionality of FindFiles is example 6: Retrieving the filelist recursively. I can get this example to run as well, but it does not give me any attributes. Specifically I would like to get the size and the creation date of the enties. Is there any thing that I might add to the function, that would do this? Thanks all for answers. Poul ... View more

Hi Tom, in reply to your suggestion, that the 'old' macro could still run on the server: No it cannot, due to: "NOTE: Because NOXCMD or LOCKDOWN is in effect, the N option is turned on and no routines will be invoked." So I suppose the same limitation applies for the macro as for the other methods, that I used. Regards Poul ... View more
