SAS
® Text Miner™ may produce the following error:
ERROR: Unable to access the files referenced by the URI.
The problem occurs when all of the following are true:
(1) the input data contains the variables URI and FILTERED
(2) FILTERED is a character variable
(3) the value of FILTERED is not a valid path and filename to a document file
(4) neither FILTERED or URI are dropped from the input data
The error will occur even when the Role of FILTERED is set to Rejected.
To circumvent the error, reconsider your use of FILTERED and URI in your
model.
If your entire text document is stored as the value of a text variable,
you might not need FILTERED and URI in the input. Set the Role of your
text variable to Text, and set the Drop attribute for FILTERED and URI
to Yes. SAS Text Miner uses the complete value of your text variable as your
document data.
If you determine that either or both FILTERED and URI are required,
then renaming one or both also circumvents the error.
If you want SAS Text Miner to parse text from the original source file, set:
(1) the Role of your text variable to Text
(2) the Role of URI to Text Location
(3) the Drop attribute for FILTERED to Yes
The value of URI must correctly reference the complete path for the document to parse.
If you want SAS Text Miner to parse text from the filtered documents (the HTML version of document files after filtering with TMFILTER), then set:
(1) the Role of your text variable to Text
(2) the Role of FILTERED to Text Location
The value of FILTERED must correctly reference the complete path for the document to parse.
