Creating an Orchestration Job

If your login has been granted the EditJobs capability, then you can create and edit orchestration jobs. For information about capabilities, see Default Groups, Roles, and Capabilities.

To create an orchestration job, you must display the New Orchestration Job window. There are two main ways to display this window. If you are on the SAS Data Management Console home page, then you can click the New Orchestration Job link under the Apps section of the home page.

If you are on the SAS Folders tab, then you can select a folder in the tree and click the Orchestration Job button in the drop-down menu attached to the New item. This button is located in the toolbar.

Note that the folder can be located in the SAS Folders tab or it can be one of the subfolders displayed when you select one of the SAS folders. If you want other users to have access to your job, create it in the Shared Data folder.

The next task is to add nodes to the job. For an example of how this is done, see Working with the Data Management Job Node. See also the topics for the other nodes in the same chapter, "Working with Orchestration Job Nodes."
