The SAS Metadata Server log files will tell you this information:     <SASConfig>\Lev#\SASMeta\MetadataServer\Logs\   You can search the log files for the name of the table that was deleted, there will be a log message telling you the date, time and user account that deleted the table.   Thanks, Jack  ...

SAS Viya on Windows only supports single-server deployments, so the 'SAS Services Manager' service can be used to start and stop all of the SAS Viya services in the correct sequence:   SAS® Viya® 3.4 Administration: General Servers and Services   If you need to script it you could use a command like:         net start "SAS Services Manager"            or       sc \\hostname start "SAS Services Manager"    The 'VIRK' tool (now called Viya-ARK) which you were using is only available on Linux and not Windows.  The equivalent Windows tool SAS® Viya® Deployment Assistant for Windows does not have a facility to manage services.     Many thanks,   Jack  ...
