After
you have created profiles, you can associate a profile with a shortcut
on the Windows desktop. This capability enables you to start SAS Enterprise
Guide with a specific profile by clicking on a specific shortcut.
You can also start SAS Enterprise Guide without a profile by using
a desktop shortcut.
To associate a profile
with a desktop shortcut, follow these steps:
-
Create a shortcut for
the file SEGuide.exe. By default, it will be in the directory
C:\Program Files\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\4.3.
-
Right-click on the shortcut
that you created and select
Properties.
-
To start SAS Enterprise
Guide by using a specific profile, add
/profile:<profile name> at the
end of the string in the
Target box. You
must include a space before
/profile. If the profile name includes spaces, you must enclose the name
in quotation marks:
“C:\Program Files\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\4.3\SEGuide.exe” /profile:”SAS Metadata”
To start SAS Enterprise
Guide without a profile, add
/noprofile at the end of the string in the
Target box. You must include a space before
/noprofile:
“C:\Program Files\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\4.3\SEGuide.exe” /noprofile
-
Click
OK to close the Properties dialog box.
-
You can now rename and
move the shortcut to the desktop.
