SAS/EIS Software: Administrator's Guide

Specifying the System Repository Manager Location

Follow the steps below to specify the location of the system repository manager.

Create a directory that will be dedicated exclusively to the storage of repository manager files, for example:

PC users:

!SASROOT\RPOSMGR

Unix users:

!SASROOT/RPOSMGR

VMS users:

!SAS$ROOT:[RPOSMGR]

This directory should not be used to store other SAS files.
Note: This system repository manager path will be used later in this chapter.
