Is it possible to set an autoexec.sas file in dedicated directory? about server HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks @yabwon !

I think a user-specific auto-exec is a great idea. This would need to be saved at backend so that it can be available across different browser sessions.

This is probably a good point to enable home directories for users. Then, we can add the autoexec to the home dir, allowing the autoexec to be easily viewed and edited.

The implementation would therefore require:

• Creating a /Users top level directory under SAS_PATH
• When a new user (or the default desktop user) logs in for the first time, a subdirectory is created with their userid, eg /users/allan
• In desktop or non-admin mode, the user just sees /users/$username. Admins will see every user under the top-level /users folder.
• An empty /Users/allan/autoexec.sas file is also created

When launching a SAS session (executor.ts), the autoexec.sas file is copied (if it exists) from the user folder to the session folder (as user-autoexec.sas).

The SAS executor is also updated with the following code injected into the code.sas program: %inc "$(SAS_PATH)/sessions/$(sessionid)/user-autoexec.sas";

IMPORTANT - this behaviour should only happen for the /CODE/ExecuteSASCode API (not Stored Program requests)

With the latest(v0.3.2) version, you can set autoexec to ~/.sasjs-server/user-autoexec.sas in DESKTOP mode.
