How to Create/Delete a Scheduled Job in SAS Viya
The following procedure outlines steps to schedule/unschedule jobs, delete a job, and view the properties of jobs. Jobs can be scheduled to run either immediately, at a specific time (daily, yearly), or in response to a trigger.
Note: Background jobs run on a separate workspace server, and as a result the log is not displayed “live” in the same main Log window as running code directly within SAS Studio using the Run icon. Additionally, any libraries that are created by your background program will not appear in the Libraries section of the SAS Studio.
Using SAS Studio to Schedule a Job
Jobs can also be scheduled using SAS Studio.
1. Click on the following link to access Open SAS Viya: https://qnetanalytics-viya.cms.gov/.
2. Go to SAS Studio.
3. Right click on the code to be scheduled as a job and select Schedule as a job.
4. To create a New Trigger, enter Name, Frequency, Interval, Time, Time zone, Start date, and End type. Click Save.
Note: If you users want your their job to run only run once, then they can change the End type to A fter After number of times and select 1 for the number of times.

Note: Once the job is complete, the entire log file is written to your a user's folder of choice. The output folders can be changed in Options > Preferences > Background Submit.
If the code is running too long in background mode and encountering errors, then steps can be added manually throughout the SAS code to stop the program from running once the conditions are met (e.g., if _ERROR_ = 1 then abort return; to stop the SAS session). Once the SAS code stops running, the SAS log can then be opened in full.
