Scheduling Jobs

Registering Jobs Information Libraries

A Jobs Information library is a SAS library that contains status information for Jobs that have been scheduled through the Job Properties window in SAS/Warehouse Administrator. If Job tracking is enabled for a given Job, when the Job executes, it will update its status in the appropriate Jobs Information library. The Job Viewer window reads the Jobs Information library to display information about Jobs that have been submitted.

After you have created an appropriate library definition, you can make that library the Jobs Information library for a given Environment or Data Warehouse. A Warehouse Environment and its Data Warehouses can share one Jobs Information library, or they could have separate Jobs Information libraries.

Registering a Jobs Information Library

Here is the preferred way to register a SAS library as the Jobs Information library for a given Warehouse Environment or Data Warehouse.

If you have not done so already, create an appropriate library definition, as described in Example: Creating a Jobs Information Library.
Display the Job Hierarchy view in the Process Editor.

If you are currently in the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Explorer, from the main menu, select Tools Process Editor

If you are currently in the Job List view of the Process Editor, right-click the background of the Job List view, and select View Job Hierarchy
In the Job Hierarchy view, left-click the Warehouse Environment or Data Warehouse that needs a Jobs Information library.

In the Process Editor, a rectangle appears around the selected Environment or Data Warehouse.
Right-click the Warehouse Environment or Data Warehouse and select Job Info Library Select Existing Library

A list of libraries defined in the current Environment displays.
Select the library you defined in Step 1.

The library defined in Step 1 is now the Jobs Information library for the Warehouse Environment or Data Warehouse that you selected.
