In SAS® Life Science Analytics Framework 4.7.1, relative paths are set incorrectly for all Job settings if the file or folder name begins with the same characters as the name of the Job's parent folder.

 
To see this behavior:

1) Create yy.Job under folder sub2 /SAS/Files/User1/sub1/sub2/yy.job
SAS
       Files
               User1
                          sub1
                                  abc-sub22
                                   sub2 
                                          yy.job
                                  sub22

2) Set LOG ‘s relative path to folder sub2 (the Job’s current folder) . The relative path that displays for the LOG is ./

3) Set LOG ‘s relative path to folder abc-sub22 (the upper level and back down another folder) /SAS/Files/User1/sub1/abc-sub22. The relative path for log displays as ../abc-sub22

4).Set LOG ‘s relative path to sub22 (still the upper level and back down another folder, but the folder has a similar name as Job’s current folder name sub2) /SAS/Files/User1/sub1/sub22 

The relative path that displays for the LOG is ./ (which is the same step1). So, the Job cannot identify when folders have similar names. Expected result is the relative path for log should be ../sub22

Note, this issue happens in all Job's settings including LOG, LST, Manifest, SAS Program, Parameter, Input, and Output.

A hotfix is planned for this issue.
