user the user ID that you will use to connect to the database server.
password the corresponding password.
schema the name of the schema in which you plan to create the
repository manager tables.
For further information about the attributes that appear in the
element when you connect to an Oracle database, see “ Attributes
Used to Connect to an Oracle Database” on page 130.
If you plan to create your repository manager and metadata repository in a DB2
database, you should edit the element in this file so that it contains
the attributes shown below:
Note: The option dbmax_text=4096 is optional. Use it only on 64-bit
platforms. Also, you can omit the SCHEMA option if you want to create the
repository manager tables in a schema whose name matches the name of the user
specified in the options. Generally, however, the repository manager tables are
created in a schema called SASRMGR. R
There are four values that you may need to supply in this XML element:
database the name of the DB2 data source or database.
user the user ID that you will use to connect to the database server.
password the corresponding password.
schema the name of the schema in which you plan to create the
repository manager tables.
For further information about the attributes that appear in the
element when you connect to a DB2 database, see “ Attributes Used
to Connect to a DB2 Database” on page 131.
3 Save your changes to omaconfig.xml.
4 Restart your metadata server. The metadata server will create a set of repository
manager tables in the schema that you specified in your omaconfig.xml file.
Note: If you check you metadata server log, you may see the error message
“ERROR: Invalid option name DBCONDITION.” You can ignore this message. R
At this point, you have created the repository manager. The following steps create
the initial (foundation) metadata repository.
5 Start SAS Management Console, and connect to the metadata server as the SAS
Administrator (sasadm).
6 You see a dialog that displays the message “No Repositories are present on the
requested server. Would you like to add a repository now?” Click Yes. A wizard

7 On the Select Repository Type page, select Foundation and click Next.
8 On the General Information page, leave Foundation in the Name field, and click
Next.
9 On the Definition of Data Source page, perform the following steps:
a Select Oracle or DB2 from the Engine drop-down list. (This will cause the Path
