Cannot Open Connection Error on Azure ML Studio (Running R Script)

Question

I am trying to run an R Script in Azure ML. The code runs for several hours and then stop with this error displayed:

Error 0063: The following error occurred during evaluation of R script:
---------- Start of error message from R ----------
cannot open the connection


cannot open the connection
----------- End of error message from R -----------
Start time: UTC 04/03/2017 21:09:34
End time: UTC 04/03/2017 23:33:48

I have ran the code in RStudio, therefore I am quite confident that the R code is not the problem. Can it be a server issue and how to avoid it?

Thanks

If the code runs, verify if the problem is with the package. For packages that are not in Azure AML you have to load them as a dataset (after installing locally) See this: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/benjguin/2014/09/24/how-to-upload-an-r-package-to-azure-machine-learning/
