Recently in the SAS Community Library: SAS' @kumardeva debunks the myth that developing AI assistants is too hard. He shows you how to use the @sassoftware/viya-assistantjs library to jump start your development.
Hi SAS Community,
I'm reaching out for some guidance on loading large .dat files into SAS Viya 4.
Our Process: Each semester, we generate census datasets from snapshots of data received as .dat files from IT. Previously, we used Base SAS programs to read these files from a Windows file server and convert them to SAS datasets.
Challenge: Since transitioning to SAS Viya 4, I'm encountering difficulties loading the .dat files, particularly with larger ones exceeding 100MB. I'm unable to load or copy them directly into SAS Viya.
Clarification: I'm copying the .dat files to "SAS Content," not the CAS server (I am unable to copy to cas). For this project my programs typically read data from the "SAS Content" location.
Specific Issue: Out of 19 .dat files, 17 successfully copy to the "SAS Content" path and able to convert them into sas datasets. However, the two remaining files (119MB and 153MB) fail to copy, resulting in an error (details provided below).
I'd greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to approach loading/copying these large .dat files into SAS Viya 4. Any advice on alternative methods or configuration adjustments would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you for your time and support!
Sincerely,
Bhaskar

In large enterprise organizations, it would be beneficial to be able to hide, or make visible, folders from the SAS server files that are mounted from the Studio Explorer pane based on the groups the users are in. See Case: CS0115567 for the original support question and example.

From a server different from the SAS machine, we are running processes in batch mode on the SAS machine. These processes (process.sas) essentially create, delete, and regenerate a table in a library from an .egp file. In some cases, when we run the process outside of business hours, it executes in batch mode without issues. However, on certain occasions when we execute it during business hours, we have encountered situations where the table intended for deletion and regeneration is locked, possibly due to a user accessing it. This results in an error, but we cannot determine if the execution completed successfully or failed from the batch mode call. To make the call, we use a command like the following example: ```sh "/sas/config/Lev1/SASApp/BatchServer/sasbatch.sh -logconfigloc \"/sas/config/Lev1/SASApp/BatchServer/logconfig.xml\" -log /sas/config/Lev1/SASApp/BatchServer/Logs/"$1"_ -batch -noterminal -logparm \"rollover=session\" -sysin /sas/config/Lev1/SASApp/SASEnvironment/SASCode/Jobs/"$1"" ``` We make this call from another server, not the SAS machine, using an SSH connection.
