Libname not working for students in SAS on DEMAND

[kwalsh0929]

Good Evening-

I have been an instructor in SAS studio for 2 years.  I give the students the code and they run it and interpret the results. For some reason the libnames that I always have given the students to access the data no longer work.  The course information has not changed.

As an example I always used:

libname intro "/courses/d1bb19b5ba27fe300/Practice" access=readonly;

Now I get an error that the libref does not exist.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is "courses" the root of a drive or similar mount point?

With code that previously worked I would look to see some admin changed the properties of files, such as perhaps you no longer have read privileges to the folder if the path has not changed. Or if someone changed drives around so that "courses" is no longer a drive mount for you. The paths should always start from a drive mount point.

You are likely going to need to contact SAS Tech Support for this one. But you can also go the folder/library, right click it and select properties. You can see if the path has changed for some reason.

Thanks Reeza.  Since I am the course instructor no one else is able to change the access or root of the course except SAS.  So I did contact SAS support.  In properties this is the root : /home/karenwalsh0/my_content/ahe511

I am thinking something happened on the SAS end of things, other instructors are not having this issue.

It's just a bit challenging when you are trying to teach students, I am hopeful they will respond soon.
