Troubleshooting the Scheduling of SAS Data Integration Studio Jobs

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.
