Project creation failed with: creatingProviderError

[ks_ab]

I'm trying to run a test auto-forecast model. I uploaded a simple dataset that matches the format of sample forecasting dataset provided by SAS Viya.  The dataset uploads successfully. However, I get the following error when running the project:

"The project could not be opened and returned the following status: creatingProviderError"

Online support suggests to change the time zone to UTC. However, I'm not able to find the command line on SAS Viya. Here's the online troubleshoot suggestion:

Please let me know how to resolve this and create a auto-forecast model. Thanks!
