Chris, I am the SAS admin and I'd like to create a new macro variable from the value of _CLIENTMACHINE.  So, when my users first open up EG this new macro is created.  We are running the Grid in Linux.  I have over 800 users that log into 4 Windows jump servers to connect to EG.  Therefore, EG is not on each client machine.  It's obviously shared across these 4 jump servers. So, putting this code in all 800 users startup autoexec profile is not very feasible.     I put my code to create this macro variable in the appserver_autoexec.usermods.sas however I've been informed the _CLIENTMACHINE is not set when EG first starts up.  What this does is creates a warning message in every users SAS log which means every job on the User Activity report shows as failed.   I've been informed that I can use the xmloptions.xml file, however I can't seem to get that to work either.  I've been informed to put a %include statement in the strOnServerConnectSASCode section where the %include program has my code to create my new macro.  when I do this I get nothing.   Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!!   Marc     ...
