About Session Time-out

SAS Data Loader records periods of inactivity in the user interface. After a period of continuous inactivity, the current web page receives a session time-out warning message in a dialog box. If you do not provide input within three minutes after you receive the warning, the current web page is replaced by the Session Time-out page. You can restart your session by clicking the text Return to the SAS Data Loader application.

When a session terminates, any directives that you did not save or run are lost.

To open an unsaved directive that you ran before your session terminated, follow these steps:

Open the Run Status directive.
Locate the entry for your unsaved directive.
If the unsaved directive is still running, click the Refresh button.
If the directive continues to run, either click Stop in the action menu , or wait for the completion of the run.
In the action menu, select Open to open the directive.
In the open directive, select Save from the title bar.
