In some cases, a Publish task might generate an error indicating that a file does not exist or cannot be found. This error occurs even though the file does exist. In some cases, even though the log is clean, a red X appears on the Publish task. In addition, regardless of whether an error occurs on the Publish task, the report shown in SAS^® Web Report Studio might still be an old report instead of the most recent report.

This problem can occur as the result of a timing issue that is related to when the report was created and when it is published. In some cases, you can work around the problem by linking the report-generating task to a code node, which contains code that creates a five-second delay, then link the code node to the Publish task. To link a task node or code node to another node, right-click on the node and choose Link To.

Here is sample code to create a five second delay.
