Bjobs lsf command to check SAS job status

Bjobs is utility that come with Platform Process Manager suite. We have two utilities one to schedule the job that is called process manager and another to do load sharing. The output from both the utilities are very similar. As they have been developed by IBM both products behave same even though the underlying components are different. If you are asked to check all status of the job you can use following command:

[sas94@hostaj ~]$ bjobs -u all -a
JOBID   USER    STAT  QUEUE      FROM_HOST   EXEC_HOST   JOB_NAME   SUBMIT_TIME
4602    venkat RUN   normal     hostah             hostaj                5F3E85BB0        Feb 12 15:49
4620    arun DONE  normal     hostaj                  hostaj                ily_Files                Feb 12 21:00

In above command, -u stands for user -a stands for all jobs. You can directly provide the job name instead of -a flag. Similarly you can provide user name after -u flag.

If above command didn't give you the output then first you have run profile.lsf command. This will load your lsf settings and environment variables. To load lsf profile:

[sas94@hostaj ~]$ . /lsf/conf/profile.lsf

Look the command carefully. First you need put dot (.) seperated by space and then location of profile.lsf.

How to create library for Oracle in SAS?

In this article, you will get details about creating a new library using SAS Management Console. Here, I have provided the procedure for creating library for Oracle database. However, the steps will be same for other databases like SQL server, Teradata etc.     Creating connection to Oracle database: To create library, you must first create a connection to Oracle database in your host machine. Host machine is the physical location where your SAS platform is installed. Details like Oracle database hostname/IP address and DSN/SID name is needed. Those details should be entered in tsnnames.ora file. For more details check this article Creating library in SAS Management Console: The steps for creating library for Oracle using SAS Management Console (SMC) can used for other database like SQL Server, My SQL etc. New library wizard: Expand Data Library Manager plug-in, right click on the Libraries and click New Library to start library wizard.  You will be asked

SAS - CLI error trying to establish connection

Issue: User asked me to make a database connectivity to SQL Server. They provided following details SQL server hostname and ip address Database/DSN name Username Password I made entry in ODBC.ini file. You know, SQL Server entries were made in ODBC.ini and Oracle entries were made in TNS.ora file. Everything went fine, took back up of odbc.ini, made entry and saved the file. So to test this connection I ran the libname statement in SAS Enterprise Guide 6.1. It throwed following error. Error Message: My DB team showed that they are able to login   14 GOPTIONS ACCESSIBLE; 15 LIBNAME test ODBC DATASRC=SGE_DS SCHEMA=VST USER=sales PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXX; ERROR: CLI error trying to establish connection: [SAS/ACCESS to SQL Server][ODBC SQL Server Legacy Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sales'.

Insufficient authorization to access PIPE error in SAS EG

Issue: When I tried to run SAS code in SAS Enterprise Guide it throws following errors: ERROR: Insufficient authorization to access PIPE. ERROR: Error in the FILENAME statement. Screenshot of error: Solution: This error occurs when you try to run OS commands in SAS code. To run the OS commands in SAS code you need to enable XCMD option. You check it in SAS Management Console by following below steps.   Open SMC -> Expand Servers -> Expand   In SASApp , expand Logical Workspace Server -> right click on Workspace Server. Click properties -> option tab -> advanced options -> launch properties. Check whether Allow XCMD is checked. The issue arises if the Allow XCMD is not checked. In above image, Allow XCMD option is not checked. It should be checked to run OS commands from SAS code. In Unix /Linux machines, this XCMD option can be enabled by using system option XCMD in sasv9 config file or workspaceserver.sh script file. Us
