I have uploaded a file vis SASDrive on Viya4.

I can see the file from inside SAS Studio.

However, I can note make a file reference to it. I get the same lockdown error as above

78 filename ind "/folders/myfolders/CS_Data/exported_Data.xpt";
ERROR: The path /folders/myfolders/CS_Data/exported_Data.xpt is not in the list of accessible paths when SAS is in the lockdown
state.
ERROR: Error in the FILENAME statement.

If you are using SASDRIVE then make sure to use the appropriate VIYA commands for making those file accessible. You cannot access those files as if they were files on a real disk drive.

Hello

What Viya commands are you referring to?

This used to work on Viya 3.5 ?!

/folders/myfolders is the path you would have used on the now discontinued University Edition to access the shared folder. I seriously doubt that it ever worked on Viya.

Viya uses a special storage service that is propagated through the cluster, so that all nodes can see all files (which are no longer visible as such to the underlying operating system). You have to use proper CAS/Viya code to access files in the cloud storage.

I thought "folders/myfolders" was only valid for SAS UE, are you sure you're using the correct path in Viya?

You can find the folder, right click it and select properties to find the correct file path.

Are you using CAS or SAS Studio?

I have 4 SAS 9.4 datasets, which I have transferred to Viya on Azure using SASDrive. I also for backup purposes have the 4 datasets in XPT format.

I want to create a SAS SPRE libname from within SAS Studio, which points to the location, where the 4 files resides

However, I keep getting the lockdown error.

Therefore I am not able to run the code below:

cas casauto;

proc casutil;
load data=mylibname.cs_accepts;
quit;

I don't know how it's locked down and connecting to Azure unless it's locked to Azure? Have you checked with your administration team?

This error sounds very much like the environment has server lockdown enabled and restricted the paths you can access via your SAS session.

You will need to store your files under a path that's defined for such access.
