Install third party version control client

SAS Data Integration Studio requires that a third party version control client be installed on the same client machine. Tortoise SVN is a common client used throughout the industry. You can download the client for free from the following link: http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html

Once you have downloaded the appropriate version (x86 or x64), begin the installation by double clicking the installation msi.

Follow the standard prompts:

Choose to install via the custom setup. Ensure that you select the option to install the command line client tools. Click “Next”.

Click the “Install” button, note that you will need administrator privileges id

Enable the appropriate SAS java plug-­‐ins in DI Studio

SAS DI Studio ships with two different plug-­‐ins for integration with version control, one for accessing SVN servers and the other for CVS. In order to configure SAS Data Integration Studio to use the SVN plug-­‐in, the CVS plug-­‐ins must be moved out of the “Program Files\SASHome\SASVersionedJarRepository\eclipse\plugins\” location. First locate the following directories:

• sas.dbuilder.versioncontrol.cvsplugin_903000.0.0.20110518190000_v930
• •sas.dbuilder.versioncontrol.cvsplugin.nls_903000.0.0.20110518190000_v930

Cut the previous directories and paste them into the Archive directory:
