Thanks for the post, Scott. Having this task available in the SAS Deployment Manager is a real time-saver.

However, one minor issue I've come across with this process is that when the on-disk artifacts are created, the Formats folder ends up being misnamed as Format (i.e., no -s at the end). When the autoload process runs, it is looking specifically for a folder called Formats, not Format, so any user-defined formats that get dropped into the Format folder never get found, causing any data sets referencing those formats to error out during the autoload process and never get loaded into memory.

The fix is easy (just add the -s onto the Format folder name), but it is something I've learned to watch out for when using the Deployment Manager task to create new autoload drop-zones.
