Adding the Example Environment

PC Host Instructions

Execute !SASROOT\whouse\sasmisc\windemo.exe . The default location the files will be restored to is c:\temp\dwdemo .

After the files have been restored, the following directory structure will be created:

c:\temp\dwdemo
c:\temp\dwdemo\_dwmd 
c:\temp\dwdemo\_master  
c:\temp\dwdemo\fmts
c:\temp\dwdemo\jobinfo
c:\temp\dwdemo\master_jobinfo
c:\temp\dwdemo\null
c:\temp\dwdemo\sdata
c:\temp\dwdemo\src
c:\temp\dwdemo\wdata

This demo contains formats that are referenced by placing the following libname statement in your autoexec file:
```
libname library 'dwdemo\fmts';
```
Invoke Version 8 of SAS.
To add the sample Environment, change the current working directory to the directory where the sample is installed. On the SAS command line, type:
```
x cd c:\temp\
```
Where c:\temp\ is the main directory where the example Environment is installed. This statement can also be put in your autoexec file.
Type dw on the command line to invoke SAS/Warehouse Administrator software.
After the Desktop window initializes, select the Add Item menu option and then the Data Warehouse Environment menu option from the File pull-down menu.
In the Data Warehouse Environment Properties window, type the following in the Path field:
```
dwdemo/_master
```
Leave the other fields as they are and click OK.
The sample warehouse is now added to the desktop. Double-click the Environment's icon to begin exploring it.

Note: If you receive the following message

ERROR: Library _MASTER does not exist

then the current working directory is not set correctly. [cautionend]

For instructions about how to set the current working directory, see Step 2. You will need to exit SAS/Warehouse Administrator software and re-invoke it to have the current working directory modifications take effect.
