How to create a new Channel in SAS CI

[davidlivingston]

Hello,

I would like to create a new channel through SAS CI Studio(a new one outside the out-of-the-box 30), which would eventually publish into CI_CHANNEL table.

Is there a way to acheive this as i couldnt find any option to create a new channel through CI Studio?

Version 6.4M1

Hi David, 

This is actually very easy. There is a special utility to add channels, it's described in SAS MA Administration Guide (page 178 for v6.4). An example call (from the guide): 

"C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASCustomerIntelligenceUtilities\6.4 \sasciutils_console.exe"
-addChannel -userid MyUserId -password MyPassword -utilitylogfile c:/tmp/channel.log -code D2D
-name "Door to Door Solicitation"

Don't try to create codes for new channels starting with _ (as for built-in channels) it won't work. Start with the letters.

Best regards, Dmitriy.

Hi All,

How can I remove the added channels from metadata using the above utility or is there any other way.
