Module 1 Basics Demos not found

[Lyanne]

For Preparing Data for analysis and reporting I have to work with SAS Data Management Studio in the Virtual lab. There are exercises that are using the Basics Demos repository, but I cannot find it. It is not located in D://workshop/dqdmp1.

Does anyone know where to find it?

Hi,

I think it should be named DM_Studio_Basics_Demos.rps. Can you try a search on the machine and see if it finds it?

Hi Audrey,

I have tried that, but it is not on my machine at all.

Hi Lyanne,

Here are the link to the coursedata, and some instructions on how to set this up, I did this on my own laptop, worked fine. Good luck.

https://support.sas.com/edu/OLTRN/EDQ26DM1/coursedata.zip

Open this zip file and extract the folder to a location where you have Write access. The ZIP file has a parent folder (dqdmp1) with two child folders (data, solutions).

• The data folder has five subfolders:
• Copybook
• Text Files
• MDB Files
• XML Files
• SAS Datasets
• The solutions folder has the following items:
• two subfolders (CaseStudySolution, files)
• a repository file (solutions.rps)
• several QKB scheme files (with an extension of .sch.qkb)
• three backup data ZIP files

Hi Erik,

I am working in the virtual lab and from the virtual lab I cannot open files from my own computer.
