Managing the Stored Process .sas Code Repository (SAS 9.1.3)

1

As you might have noticed, you are unable to select a brand new file location for SAS code when creating a SAS Stored Process via Enterprise Guide. The only options are previously defined 'source code repositories'.

The SAS Administrator (or anyone else with SAS Management Console & the associated access), can create a 'dummy' SAS Stored Process in the Bip Tree and get to the Manage Button to add/change/remove source code repositories.

1. From SAS Management Console -> Right Click within a Folder on the Bip Tree and choose 'New Stored Process'

2. On the 1st screen, you must type in some name to get to the next screen since it's a required field. No worries we will cancel out in a minute and this won't get stored in your metadata anywhere.

3. On the following page, the magic 'Manage' button is found next to the Source Code Repository. Note that a Server (Stored Process or Workspace) must be selected to get there.

4. After making changes to your source code repository, CANCEL out of the remaining screens so your 'dummy' SAS Stored Process isn't stored in the metadata.
