If you use the Upload to LASR task with data sets that are 3 GB or larger, SAS Enterprise Guide and the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office might stop responding. In some cases, you must use Windows Task Manager to terminate the application.

To avoid this issue when loading large data sets into the SAS^® LASR™ Analytic Server from these clients, do not use the Upload to LASR task. Instead, modify the Upload to LASR task code and submit a new custom program. Specifically, change the LIBNAME statement in the task code to use the SASIOLA engine instead of the META engine.

Here is an example of the unmodified LIBNAME statement

libname libref meta library="visual-analytics-metadata-library-name" metaout=data;

This is how you would modify the statement:

libname libref sasiola tag=server-tag port=number host="grid-host" signer="authorization-web-service-uri";

Here is an example of a modified statement:

libname lasrlib sasiola tag=HPS port=10031 host="example.companyname.com" signer="http://example.companyname.com:7980/SASLASRAuthorization";

For more information about the SASIOLA engine, see the topic "LIBNAME Statement for the SAS LASR Analytic Server Engine" in the SAS LASR Analytic Server: Reference Guide for your release of SAS. For a link to the guide, see the SAS LASR Analytic Server Documentation page.
