108 Repairing Problematic Data Sets R Chapter 13
/* use proc copy to re-create the contents of the original repository
directory in the temporary directory */
proc copy in=reposdir out=tempdir noclone;
run;
/* use proc contents on the new directory to verify that compress and
reuse are set correctly */
proc contents data=tempdir._all_;
run;
3 Use an operating system command to swap the directory names.
When you use PROC COPY, you must have enough space to store two copies of all of
the repository data sets. If only a few data sets are affected, you might prefer to use the
DATA step. The following code fragment illustrates the use of a DATA step:
/* set the correct system options for the SAS session and assign a libref
to the original and temporary repository directories */
options compress=no reuse=no;
libname reposdir ’C:\SAS\EntBIServer\Lev1\SASMain\MetadataServer\
MetadataRepositories\Foundation’;
libname tempdir ’C:\SAS\EntBIServer\Lev1\SASMain\MetadataServer\
MetadataRepositories\FoundationTemp’ compress=no;
/* execute a data step similar to the following one for each data set that
needs to be repaired */
data tempdir.data-set-name;
set reposdir.data-set-name;
run;
After re-creating the data sets, use operating system commands to copy the modified
data sets to the source directory.
