If Enterprise Guide Version 2.0 is installed without Enterprise Guide
Administrator, the Enterprise Guide client is directed to a remote
repository server to obtain server and library definitions.  A list of
available remote repository servers will be displayed in the Enterprise
Guide client under:

   Tools => Administrator Options => Change Repository => Remote => Name

However, if the Enterprise Guide client needs to reference a remote
repository server that is not available in the list, the following XML
file on the client must be modified to include the new server:

   C:\Documents and Settings\*userid*\Application Data\SAS\SAS
   Directory Services\SDSConfig.xml

To add a repository server name, open the SDSConfig.xml file into an
editor (notepad) and following one of these Methods:

Method 1:  (easiest)

Copy an existing <REPOSITORY> ... </REPOSITORY> tag of code and make
changes to the <Host> and <Hostname> tags, changing the server name to
the new repository server.  Save the .xml file and restart the EG
client.

Method 2:

   1. Go to the  <REPOSITORIES>  section of the XML file.

   2. Add a new tag name called <REPOSITORY>.

   3. Add a <Name> tag with the name of your server, followed with a
      close tag.  For example,
        <Name> machine1 </Name>

   4. Add a <Description> tag with an optional description of the
      server, followed with a close tag.  For example,
        <Description>  </Description>

   5. Add a <HostName> tag with the name of a machine on the network
      or an IP Address, followed with a close tag.  If you want the
      server "Local", then leave the field blank followed with a close
      tag.  For example,
         <HostName>  machine1  </HostName>

   6. Add a <Type> tag, this should be 1 for most users, followed with
      a close tag.  (1 represents Jet).

   7. Close the repository tag.
        </REPOSITORY>

   8. Save the .xml file and restart the EG client.


Example <Repository> Tag:
<REPOSITORY>
       <Name>machine1</Name>
       <Description></Description>
       <HostName>machine1</HostName>
       <Type>1</Type>
       <Parm></Parm>
       <IsConnected>0</IsConnected>
 </REPOSITORY>

Note:  When the SDSConfig.xml file is saved, additional tags (Parm,
IsConnected) will be inserted into the <REPOSITORY> tag.  The line will
be formatted to remove blank characters.

The first object defined in the xml file will be the active repository
for Enterprise Guide and Enterprise Administrator.  This will be enough
information to surface the repository name in the Repository Name dialog
box.

There is a DEFAULTS section in the XML file that controls which of the
repository servers is used.  You can change the value in the file, or
use the Enterprise Guide:

   Tools => Administrator Options => Change Repository dialog box

to change the default repository server.
