User credentials
play an important role in the scheduling and execution of SAS Data
Integration Studio jobs. When SAS Data Integration Studio deploys
a job for scheduling, it generates a SAS file as the
-sysin
value for running SAS in batch mode. Generated
SAS programs often contain LIBNAME statements that specify credentials
for the data sources in the library. If an issue occurs in scheduling
or executing a SAS Data Integration Studio job, check to determine
whether one of the following situations has occurred:
-
Has a user's password changed?
If the password has changed, you will need to either redeploy the
job to update the SAS file with the new credentials, or edit the generated
SAS file to update the credentials.
-
Are the specified credentials valid
in the scheduling environment? The user who generated the job might
have credentials that are valid in SAS Data Integration Studio but
not in the scheduling environment. Typically, the user who runs the
scheduled job is also the user who scheduled the job in SAS Management
Console, although you can use the
Advanced Properties dialog box to specify another user to run the job. If the credentials
are not valid, you will need to either redeploy the job with the appropriate
credentials, or edit the generated SAS file to update the credentials.
