Creating folders with SAS code in metadata repository...

[Grumbler]

hello, just wondering if there is a way to use sas code to create folders in the metadata repository, instead of manually creating folders and sub-folders.  and i don't mean in personal folder or shared folder.  thank you.

Under $SASHOME, alongside SASFoundation, you should find SASPlatformObjectFramework/9.x/MakeFolder

The documentation is very basic but something like this can get you started:

cd $SASHOME/SASPlatformObjectFramework/9.x/MakeFolder

./MakeFolder -profile "/home/sasadm/MetadataServerProfiles/sasadm_myserver_Lev1.swa" -appropriate_options -log "/home/sasadm/MetaUtilitiesLogs"
