When you connect to a workspace server locally or remotely, the following error can occur:

Problem

Custom code that is defined in Tools ► Options ► select SAS Programs ► Submit SAS code when server is connected causes the custom code to stop processing. The Submit SAS code when server is connected option automatically submits custom SAS code when a connection to a workspace server is made.

Workaround

1. Open SAS^® Enterprise Guide^® and go to Tools ► Options ► select SAS Programs ► clear the option Submit SAS code when server is connected ► OK.
2. Test the connection to the workspace server again. If the connection is successful, the code in Submit SAS code when server is connected was the cause of the issue.
3. Troubleshoot the code in Submit SAS code when server is connected at this point. Paste the code from Submit SAS code when server is connected in a new program and submit the code line-by-line (highlighting the code). 
4. Typically, LIBNAME statements to remote databases are what causes the code to stop processing, which indicates that there is an issue with the databases. In these cases, contact the database administrators to assist with resolving the connection issues to the databases.

If the error continues to occur, complete the steps in Enabling logging in SAS® Enterprise Guide® 7.1 and later (SAS KB0036457), replicate the error and Contact SAS Technical Support for further assistance. When you use the Submit a Support Request or Create a new support request via email forms, include the SAS Enterprise Guide log that was created.
