Usage Note 66422: How to modify the expiration of a SAS® Viya® job that was created using the SAS® Job Execution Web Application or SAS® Studio 5.2
The expiration of a SAS Viya job that is created using the SAS Job Execution Web Application or SAS Studio 5.2 is defined as the length of time that the job output and SAS log are both available for review.
These parameters affect the expiration of jobs:
- _EXPIRATION job definition parameter
- _EXPIRATION preset parameter
- EXPIRATION configuration property (applies only to interactive and scheduled jobs)
The default expiration for a job that is either scheduled or submitted interactively using either SAS Studio 5.2 or the SAS Job Execution Web Application is 30 minutes.
You can change the expiration for a single scheduled or interactive job by using one of the following methods. Note that job expiration cannot be set or modified by using SAS® Environment Manager.


- Method 3: Manually change the expiration of the scheduled job by using the SAS Job Execution Web Application.

To set the expiration for all jobs that use the SAS Job Execution Web Application, set the EXPIRATION configuration property and then restart the SAS Job Execution Web Application.

To restart the SAS Job Execution Web Application in a Microsoft Windows environment, use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Services snap-in.
To restart the SAS Job Execution Web Application in a Linux environment, use this command:
prompt> systemctl restart sas-viya-jobexecapp-default
Background Jobs
The default expiration for a background job is 24 hours.
You can change the expiration of a background job that is created with the SAS Job Execution Web Application by using either Method 1, Method 2, or Method 3 as outlined above. Note: The EXPIRATION configuration property does not apply to background jobs.
