SAS 9.1.3 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide

Promoting Individual BI Objects R Description of Scenario 179
If a definition already exists for the archive path that you plan to use,
then you do not need to define one. If the definition does not exist, then
you must add it as described in step 6.
4 If the destination metadata repository does not have any stored process definitions,
then you must create a stored process strictly for the purpose of creating the source
code repository and archive path definitions. If you click Cancel at the end of this
procedure, the source code repository definition and the archive path definition will
be saved, but the stored process definition will not be saved. Follow these steps:
a In SAS Management Console, right-click any folder under BI Manager. In
the menu that appears, click New Stored Process.
b In the Name field of the New Stored Process Wizard, type any name (for
example, Test). Then click Next.
c Select the SAS Server that is associated with the intended location of the
source code files.
d Use the procedure in step 5 to create the source code repository definition.
Use the procedure in step 6 (if needed) to create the archive path definition.
5 To add a new source code repository definition, complete these steps either on the
Execution tab of the Properties dialog box or on the second page of the New
Stored Process Wizard:
a Click Manage.
b In the Manage Source Code Repositories dialog box, click Add.
c In the Add Source Code Repository dialog box, type the fully qualified path
for the directory. The path should point to the folder that you created in step
1. Click OK.
d In the Manage Source Code Repositories dialog box, click OK.
6 To add a new archive path definition, complete these steps either on the
Execution tab of the Properties dialog box or on the second page of the New
Stored Process Wizard:
a If you have not already done so, select Permanent package from the Output
list, and click Details.
b On the Permanent Package Details dialog box, click the Publish to server
file system radio button, and then click Manage.
c In the Manage Archive Paths dialog box, click Add.
d In the Add Archive Path dialog box, enter the fully qualified path for the
folder that is to be used to store packages. The path should point to the folder
that you created in step 2. You can also enter a description. Then click OK.
e Click OK in the Manage Archive Paths dialog box and in the Permanent
Package Details dialog box.
