I have SAS onDemand for Academics: Enterprise Miner 14.1. I am currently taking the e-course titled "Applied Analytics Using SAS Enterprise Miner", and the lesson "Model Implementation Using SAS Enterprise Miner" to be more precise. I'm following the exact same instructions given in each demonstration; however, the SAS Code node doesn't seem to be working. I feel frustrated because I am unable to find the reason that causes this so far, after having searched a lot of related threads online. In addition to the log attached below, I also attached the Diagram, the Run Status window and the SAS code that is supposed to do the job:

If no workaround exists for this issue, I'd at least like to know the reason: is it because the SAS Code node is experimental? Is this a bug? Is it because of access permission due to the fact that this client application of SODA runs on SAS Metadata Server which only grants write and/or other special permissions to site administrators rather than regular users? Or is it because of some other problems?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hello @expertyejin,

 

it seems to me that your problem is on missing file system authorizations or incorrect library assignments.

Your original error is:

 

ERROR: Write access to member AAEM.EXPSCRDATA.DATA is denied.

Which basically means that the library/libname AAEM does not have write permissions. At least, not on the EXPSCRDATA dataset.

 

Loooking into one of your screenshots, it seems like AAEM is the library asigned for your EM Import Tests. 

 

This problem has an easy solution. I suggest you to speak with your system admin to grant you the required permissions on your user locations. And this would not be possible, to suggest you to find a more suitable location on your file system.

 

I hope it helps a bit!

Kind regards,

Juan

If the same code is being run by different users, the first one to run it creates the dataset in question. With the default permissions (umask) given to UNIX users when they are created, this means that the dataset in question can only be overwritten by its owner/creator.

Possible solutions:

Have the person reponsible for the course remove the dataset before you run the code node.

Have the person responsible set group write permission on the dataset; every member of the creator's group can then overwrite it. If you don't share that group, write permission for "others" needs to be set.

If you have XCMD enabled, determine the complete pathname of the dataset and use "rm -f /path/datasetname.sas7bdat" to remove the file; this only requires write permission on the library (directory), which you must have anyway.

It seems that all I have to do is to fix the access permission issues by talking to the administrator/owner then. Thank you all for the useful tips!
