Problem Note 65701: Trying to load a Teradata table into SAS® Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) might result in errors

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

Trying to load a Teradata table into CAS might result in errors when the following is true:

  • You are running SAS® Viya® 3.5.
  • You are trying to run a PROC CASUTIL LOAD statement or use the LOADTABLE action.
  • You are using datatransfermode='PARALLEL'.
  • You do not have create table authority for the database in which the table resides.

In this scenario, the errors and notes might look similar to the following:

ERROR: General error The user does not have CREATE TABLE access to database MY_TERADATA DATABASE.
ERROR: An error occurred while creating the Teradata table.
ERROR: Base table or view not found Object '_hpsvI1111111111' does not exist.
ERROR: Base table or view not found Object '_hpsvI1111111111' does not exist.
NOTE: Action failed during Embedded Process processing. Not retrying action due to dataTransferMode setting of parallel.
ERROR: The action stopped due to errors.

Here are the workarounds for this issue:

  • GRANT create table on the database containing the tables/views to be loaded and make sure that the database has some perm space.
  • Create a new database with views that point to the database from which the tables/views are to be loaded, and do everything in the new database.
  • Switch to a datatransfermode='SERIAL' to load the table serially rather than in parallel.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note for a link to instructions about accessing and applying the software update.

The hot fix addresses the issue when you use DATABASE= in the CASLIB statement. If you are currently using SCHEMA= in your CASLIB statement, you must switch to using DATABASE=.
