Adding the Example Environment

UNIX Host Instructions

Restore the !SASROOT/misc/warehouse/unxdemo.tar file to the location where the example Environment will reside. In these instructions, this location will be referred to as /usr/dw . If you do not know the location of !SASROOT , please contact your SAS representative.
Change to the main directory for the sample Environment: cd /usr/dw
Uncompress the sample Environment: tar -xvf !SASROOT/misc/warehouse/unxdemo.tar

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

./dwdemo/
./dwdemo/_dwmd 
./dwdemo/_master  
./dwdemo/fmts
./dwdemo/jobinfo
./dwdemo/master_jobinfo
./dwdemo/null
./dwdemo/sdata
./dwdemo/src
./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 /usr/dw
```
Where /usr/dw is the main directory in which 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 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.
