Can't fetch from DatastreamEDX

Postby blb22 » Tue May 10, 2022 7:06 am

Having some issues trying to fetch data from a DatastreamEDX library.

80% of the time, the below works flawlessly. But on some occasions, usually on days where I have already fetched a lot of data from the database, it fails. I've already check with Datastream that I've not run over the monthly usage limit, and I can download normally via the Datastream for Excel plugin. So I have an inkling it might be something to do with how the fetch command works in eviews.

Anyone had this kind of issue before?

Since it appears to work most times but not always, it would imply a network/internet issue. We will reach out to Datastream developers and see if they have any thoughts.

Thanks.

It's odd, though. I can access the Datastream service via Excel with no problem. It's only Eviews that tends to have an issue. It only really happens after I've fetched a lot of data. But even then, I can still fetch via Excel. Odd...
