I have a R file and I want to run the same in azureML studio.
After running the codes in Rstudio I zip the r file and import it into Azure studio's datasets.I pull the dataset and Execute R script module to the experiment and attach script bundle port to the zip file. It asks for a src path which I am not sure of. When I run, it says CONNECTION NOT FOUND.
What should be done to find the connection?
You can refer to the R script in the zip folder by referring to it through the Execute R Script module.
Use source("src/YourScriptName.r") for executing YourScriptName.r inside the zip file.

There is an error while I want to create txt file by script in R studio.I don't really understand the description of the error.
My classmate has no problem to run the code.
There is a python testzip() module to check if a zip file is corrupt in python. However i want to know it's parallel in R as well.
How to check if a zip folder is corrupt by writing a small script in R ?
I have a script written in R that pulls online and then exports it to a spreadsheet on my computer. I am attempting to create a batch file so that I can set up a scheduled task, but it only opens up the R file without actually running it. The batch file is as follows:
"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.2\bin\Rscript.exe" CMD BATCH
"C:\Users\xxx\OneDrive\xxx\Scraper.r"
I am very open to ideas other than creating a batch file, I just want this to work!
Try using this instead (note the x64 addition)
"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.2\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" C:\Users\xxx\OneDrive\xxx\Scraper.r
and without the CMD BATCH flags. That works for me.
I am not sure what is going on, but it may be you only have the 64 bit version installed, and you are trying to execute the 32 bit version. But I get a silent fail when I don't have specify the "x64" sub-directory.
I'm trying to run a R script through a .bat file. When I run myself the commands line by line it works. But when I try to run the .bat file, it doesn't works.
This is the .bat file
cd "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.2\bin"
R CMD BATCH "C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\testa_vps.R"
This is the R script
setwd('C:\Users\Administrator\Documents')
file.create('mycsv.csv')
I'm not an expert with Windows and generally try to stick to Unix-like systems for things like this, but I have found that using programs non-interactively (e.g. via .bat files) is usually less error-prone when you add the appropriate directories to your (user) PATH variable, rather than cding into the directory and calling the executable from within the .bat file. For example, among other things, my user PATH variable contains C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-3.0\bin\; - the directory that contains both R.exe and Rscript.exe - (where PROGRA~1 is an alias for Program Files which you can use in an unquoted file path, since there are no spaces in the name).
After you do this, you can check that your PATH modification was successful by typing Rscript in a new Command Prompt - it should print out usage information for Rscript rather than the typical xxx is not recognized as an internal or external command... error message.
In the directory C:\Users\russe_000\Desktop\Tempfiles, I created test_r_script.r, which contains
library(methods)
setwd("C:\Users\russe_000\Desktop\Tempfiles")
file.create("mycsv.csv")
and test_r.bat, which contains
Rscript --vanilla --no-save "C:\Users\russe_000\Desktop\Tempfiles\test_r_script.r"
Clicking on the Windows Batch File test_r ran the process successfully and produced mycsv.csv in the correct folder.
Before running test_r.bat:
After running test_r.bat:
I've never worked with a Windows server, but I don't see why the process would be fundamentally different than on a personal computer; you just may need your sysadmin to modify the PATH variable if you don't have sufficient privileges to alter environment variables.
As already suggested by #nrussel in the comments you should use RScript.exe for this.
Create a file launcher.bat with the following content:
cd C:\Users\Administrator\Documents
Rscript testa_vps.R
In addition, add C:\Program Files\R\R-[your R version]\bin\x64; or C:\Program Files\R\R-[your R version]\bin\i386to the System PATH variable in the Environment Variables menu depending if you run R on a 64-bit or 32-bit system.
I just tested the approach above successfully on a Windows Server 2008 64-bit system and mycsv.csv got created as expected.
EDIT
One important point I forgot to mention is the following: You need to specify the path in your R file in the setwd() call using \\ instead of \.
setwd('C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Documents')
Here is a screenshot of the successful run on the Windows 2008 server:
Note: I added cmd /k to the .bat file so that the cmd window stays open after clicking on the file.
I'm using a Windows 7 x64 machine with R-3.1.0. I installed the Rserve package through Rstudio.
The start of Rserve is successful with the following code in Rstudio:
library(Rserve)
Rserve()
I got the following output:
Starting Rserve...
"C:\R\R-31~1.0\library\Rserve\libs\x64\Rserve.exe"
My problem is that I couldn't locate the configuration file. Apparently it can't be "/etc/Rserv.conf".
I did come across a webpage saying that the config file is Rserv.cfg in the working directory (unless changed at compile-time). But which working directory? I have checked the working directory of the current R project as well as the Rserve library directory, but it was not there...Could someone help me with this please? Thank you.
Rserve does not automatically come with a config file, you must make one. Best steps for doing so:
Navigate to the file where you just installed Rserve.exe (C:\R\R-31~1.0\library\Rserve\libs\x64\R, based on the message you copied here)
Find Rserve.exe, Reserve_d.exe, and Rserve.dll there. Copy these files.
Navigate to where R.dll is on your computer. This is probably C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.3\bin\x64, but may be different depending on where you installed R to.
Copy the 3 files mentioned above to this location.
Create a text file here named "Rserv.cfg" with the arguments you are looking for, such as port 6312 or library(mvoutlier). Yes, I know that this is different from the documentation, but if you start Rserve_d.exe you will see that this is the file it is looking for. I have not had success naming it anything else.
You can start Rserve by specifying the location of the config file. In R instead of just Rserve() try the following:
Rserve(args="--RS-conf C:\\folder\\Rserv.cfg")
If path is more complicated you need to massage it a little bit:
Rserve(args="--RS-conf C:\\PROGRA~1\\R\\R-215~1.2\\library\\Rserve\\Rserv.cfg")
Look in the $RHOME/bin directory
If you can't find it here is a different way to approach it:
Download Rserve at [http://rforge.net/snapshot/Rserve_.tar.gz], and save it in your desired directory
Run R CMD INSTALL Rserve_.tar.gz
This allows you to leave Rserve where you want it.
After looking at the Rserve source code and making some test I found that on Windows platform Rserve try to load the configuration file from the current working directory. Also pay attention because on Windows the file name is RServ.cfg and not Rserv.conf as documented.
The current working directory depends of the process, for example using RStudio by default it is your Documents and Settings folder:
C:\Users\[username]\Documents
but can be changed in the "Global Options" of the IDE
So you can create an "RServ.cfg" text file in that directory with your needed options and starting RServe in the usual way in RStudio
Rserve()
will load your configuration.
