17654 - Environment Save goes to the wrong location

Problem Note 17654: Environment Save goes to the wrong location

If you open an environment in the SAS^® Risk Dimensions^® Java client, make changes to the environment, and then select Environment Save from the File pull-down menu, the environment should save in the location from which it was opened. Instead, the environment will save in a default location. If you re-open the environment from the original location, none of the changes will appear.

There are no warning or error messages indicating that the environment was saved in a different location.

To work around the problem and save an environment in its original location, use Environment Save As, instead of Environment Save. Explicitly save the environment in its original location by using the Browse button to navigate to the original location.

For example, suppose an environment (RD_env.sas7bcat) exists in the directory C:\temp. If you open that environment, make changes, and then select Environment Save, the new altered version of the environment will be saved in ...Lev1\SASMain, rather than in the original location in C:\temp. The original copy of the environment will still exist in C:\temp.

After using Environment Save, the Title Bar at the top of the SAS Risk Dimensions Java client will still read C:\temp\RD_env.sas7bcat, which is not correct. To retrieve the changes, open the environment in ...Lev1\SASMain\RD_env.sas7bcat.
