How to Allocate Another SAS Folder while importing SAS Libraries (SPK)

shoin — Fri, 31 May 2024 14:42:39 GMT

While importing some data libraries (SB & BASE) which at source were pointed to a singular SASFolder (let's call it DW), however, to better organize we have created multiple separate SASFolders in target env. There are 100s of libraries between two categories of libraries.

At source

all libraries (DB & Base) --> DW (SASFolder)

In target

DB libraires --> DB

Base libraries --> HR, FINANCE, etc. based on topic.

Ask
What is best way to export & import spk and point to appropriate sas folder as listed above? Manually be nightmare which trying to avoid.

Thank you in advance!

The import process supports using a substitution file. Does this work for your purposes?

Use Substitution Properties to Specify New Folder Locations for Objects
