In SAS Enterprise Guide, unless you explicitly set an individual project to be submitted to the grid, it is submitted to the workspace server.

In SAS Enterprise Guide, when you set the option Tools ► Options... ► SAS Programs ► Initialize grid (if available) when connecting to a workspace server, SAS Enterprise Guide connects to a workspace server. It also automatically connects to and initializes the grid session. However, this option does NOT cause SAS Enterprise Guide to submit to the grid.

SAS Enterprise Guide submits jobs to the grid only if the element properties or project properties has the Use grid if available option selected. To set this property, in SAS Enterprise Guide, select File ► Project Properties and click Code Submission. Select the Use grid if available option.

You can use the EGGridPolicy attribute on the logical grid server definition to control whether SAS Enterprise Guide 5.1 or later uses the grid. These attributes override any other settings in the applications.

• • Noforce: jobs are sent to the grid depending on the setting of the option Use grid if available.
  • Force: jobs are always sent to the grid, regardless of the value of the option Use grid if available.
  • Ignore: jobs are never sent to the grid, regardless of the value of the option Use grid if available. This value is supported for the first maintenance release after version 6.1 of SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS^® Add-In for Microsoft Office.
