Creating a New Repository

---

The steps in the following procedure explain how to create a new repository.

To create a new repository

Select File > New from the Administration Tool menu or click the New button in the tool bar.
Enter a name for the repository.

A RPD file extension will automatically be added if you do not explicitly specify it. The default location for all repositories is in the Repository subdirectory, located in the Siebel Analytics Server software installation folder.

The new repository is empty. The remaining steps in the repository setup process, as outlined in Table 8, tell you how to populate it.

NOTE:  When populating the repository, make sure that no repository objects in any layer are named Administrator. This name is reserved for the Siebel Analytics Server Administrator user ID.

Dragging and Dropping an Existing Repository

Once you have created a repository, you can also drag and drop it from one instance of the Administration Tool to another instance. This allows you, for example, to develop and test a different business model based upon the same Physical layer, and then combine it with a production repository. Other advantages of using drag-and-drop in this manner include faster repository development and development without any impact on the production system.
