SAS Visual Analytics provides the autoload feature to load a desired set of tables to a SAS^® LASR™ Analytic Server on a regular basis. The logs for the autoload process are written to the Logs directory inside the autoload scripts directory (for example, /opt/sas/config/Lev1/Applications/SASVisualAnalytics/VisualAnalyticsAdministrator/VALIBLA/Logs).  

One of the most common autoload failures presents the following errors in the autoload logs:

Resolving the Problem 

The most common cause for this problem is that the OS user running the autoload job is not associated with a SAS metadata user. Ensure that a SAS metadata user is associated with the autoload OS user and that the metadata user has the correct metadata permissions to perform tasks such as loading tables to LASR.

For more information about autoload, see "Autoload" in Chapter 2 of the SAS Visual Analytics: Administration Guide.  For more information about required metadata permissions, see "Permissions by Task" in Chapter 3 of the SAS Visual Analytics: Administration Guide.  Here are links to four versions of the guide:
