How to create SAS EG Flow programmatically?

Question

I write a solution which manages execution of complex calculations written in heterogeneous environments (R, SAS, Oracle). One of the features I might want to add is the ability to create a nice SAS Enterprise Guide flow using the SAS branches of the execution, using the exposed COM (that is based on the .NET) interface.

I thought I can use SASEGScripting to insert SAS code and link the code according to their dependency that my solution already manages.

I can insert the code object, but unfortunately I don't know how to create a link.

Using the techniques from ExtractCodeAndLog.vbs.txt I can get an existing link between two flow items using set item = myproject.ContainerCollection.Item and item.Items. If I iterate through the Items collection, I would get links, and would be able to inspect their properties.

Answer 1

In your EG project, right click on the object you want to make the link from and select 'Link' this will show you the list of possible object to link to. just select one from them.
