I am trying to upload the CDC's BRFSS2015.XPT file. The file is 917 MB so well within the %GB space allowed. However, after one hour, SAS ODA times out and the upload is cancelled. Can I extend the time out to more than one hour? If so, how?
Thanks to all for your thoughtful responses. Ultimately, I was unable to upload the file to SAS ODA- the same size and type file I used to handle without an issue with University Edition locally. Instead, I imported the ASC version of the CDC file into Excel, cleaned it up and exported it as a CSV file, which I then analyzed using Python.
I really like the new ODA interface, but that doesn't matter if I can't upload the big files (427k X 272) that I need. I'm sure there's a solution. I just didn't find it in the time I had.
Did you try using URL filename engine or PROC HTTP to just pull the file from their website? Do you have a link to the file?
Are you trying to load it directly from the CDC site or did you copy it to your computer and load from there?
The CDC websites have traffic issues and can run pretty slow from time to time which might be an issue if that is what you attempted.
Thanks for the comment. The only limit I've seen is the 5GB limit for total upload and storage, which I'm not close to. If there is an upload file size limit, please let me know what it is or send me to the right source.
Thank you.
