Setting Up the SASHELP Repository

Complete the following steps in order to set up the SASHELP repository:

1. At a SAS command line, type REPOSMGR and then select Repository Registration.
2. In the Repository Registration window, select New.

3. In the Register Repository (New) window, type SASHELP (in uppercase) in the Repository field. In the Path field, type the full directory path where the CORE catalog is located. For example:

   • Windows users: !SASROOT\CORE\SASHELP

   • UNIX users: !SASROOT/sashelp

   • VMS users: !SAS$ROOT:[HELP]

4. In the Description field, you can type any character string (for example, SASHELP Repository). Select OK to close the Register Repository (New) window. Select Close to exit the Repository Registration window.

Note: Repositories cannot span multiple directories because the path cannot contain concatenated directories. If you have existing metabases in concatenated directories, copy the metabases to a single path that will be referenced as a repository.
