If you want to have any persistance you have to have an admin move csv files onto the server. That is different to uploading data simply via the web interface - which is what I was wanting to do. ... View more

I want to use VA web interface to upload files into tables on LASR in a way that is persistant. If i upload via the web interface then the file is lost and the data only exists in memory. And as the file is lost the data can't be autoloaded.   The resources you sent mean that I have to load files into LASR by copying them accross to a folder, not via the VA web interface. This is a completly different system and workflow. Am I missing something?       ... View more

Ok, well I guess that means I can't use VA to administer the system by loading in CSV files as there is no route directly from VA to having the data be recovered on event of in memory storage being lost. ... View more

My uplodad folder is on a linuix server that I have to ftp into. The instrucitons seem to show a windows based directory on a machine that someone is using.   When I upload a csv file in VA, does it copy the file into this folder and manage all the autoloading? Or do I have to configure this functionality somewhere?   It seems like unless the file exists on the server the autoload does not work. If I only upload files in VA then if the filess are not copied over (as well as loaded into in memory storage) then I cant administer the system only through VA.   ... View more

But if I am uploading csv files using VA, how can I upload files into folders on the server?   Are these two options honestly how a bank or large company do this? Potentiall millions of files on a disk somewhere? ... View more

Hi,   I am not talking about keeping it on disk. I mean what is the accepted procedure for working with in memory tables:   If i have uploaded 25,000 different csv files to the database and I need to reset the system. Is my only option to find and reload all files? Or have hadoop (which again the SAS team couldnt figure out how to install)?   If I have LASR and suffer a power outage, what exactly am i supposed to do? Im just trying ot get my head around how this is being used inb production by large companies - are they really snapshotting the virtual machines?      ... View more
