Problem Note 67409: SAS® Enterprise Guide® 8 and later might consume more CPU resources than previous releases
 |  |  |  |  |
SAS Enterprise Guide 8 and later might consume more CPU resources than previous releases. This behavior is caused by a progress animation bar related to the new windowing/docking interface in SAS Enterprise Guide 8.
Beginning with SAS Enterprise Guide 8.3 Update 2, a configuration option, DisableProgressDotsAnimation, is available to disable the animation of the progress bar.
To use the DisableProgressDotsAnimation option, complete these steps:
- Edit the SEGuide.exe.config file using a plain text editor. This file is located in the SAS Enterprise Guide installation directory.
- Add the DisableProgressDotsAnimation key, making sure to match the casing exactly.
- For the value attribute, enter true.
Here is an example:
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="DisableProgressDotsAnimation" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="DisableProgressDotsAnimation" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
