When you are running the SAS® Stored Process Server and executing SAS a 
Stored Processes (with SAS code that resides on a network drive, the 
server must be running under a user account that has access to the 
network drive. 
 
For example, if the SAS Stored Process Server is running on a user 
account called HOSTAsassrv, this account might not be able to access 
files on another network (for example, NETWORKB).  If this is the case, 
then you receive the following error message when you try to execute SAS 
Stored Processes that reside on the NETWORKB network drive: 
 
  Stored Process Error 
  Error returned from stored process. 
  STP: The requested stored process \your
etworkpathpgmname.sas 
       does not exist. 
 
By default, the SAS Stored Process server runs under an account called 
sassrv on the local machine on which it was installed.  If it is running 
on a machine called HOSTA, then, by default, it would run under the 
HOSTAsassrv user account.  If this account does not have access to a 
network drive where the SAS Stored Processesreside, HOSTB, the SAS 
Stored Process server will need to run under another account that has 
access to the HOSTB network drive. 
 
To run SAS the Stored Process server under another user account, follow 
these steps: 
 
   1.  In your SAS® Management Console, go to User Manager > SAS General 
       Servers.  Right-click and select Properties. 
 
   2.  Select the Logins tab.  Add a new Login user ID. Select New and 
       then define the new user ID. Click OK to save the settings. 
 
   3.  In the SAS Management Console under Server Manager, go to the 
       lowest level node for your SAS Stored Process Server. 
 
   4.  Right-click on the Stored Process Server and select Properties. 
 
   5.  Select Options > Advanced Options. For Login, select the new 
       user ID that you defined in Step 2 above.  Click OK to save the 
       settings. 
 
   6.  Restart your object spawner to refresh its settings. 
 
 
Note: To determine if a user account has access to a network drive, 
      log on to the machine using that user account. Then, try to 
      access the network drive from that user account. 
 
Following is another approach to determine if the user account has 
access to the network drive on Windows: 
 
      1.  Bring up a DOS shell. 
 
      2.  Issue the following command (where you substitute your 
          account name in place of sassrv): 
 
             > runas /user:sassrv cmd 
 
          You are prompted to enter the account password. 
 
      3.  A new window will pop up that is running under the account 
          that you specified in the runas command. 
 
          In the newly-opened window, specify a command that is similar 
          to the following (where j is the drive that you are mapping 
          and \your.network.machinefolder is the network location): 
 
             > net use J: \your.network.machinefolder 
 
          If your J drive is already mapped, specify another drive. 
 
          If your net use command was successful, then your SAS Stored 
          Process Server should also be able to access your network 
          drive, provided that the Stored Process Server is running 
          under the account that you specified in the runas command.
