  1. Download Sentinel Routine Querying Reporting Tool from Sentinel GIT repository
    1. Download GIT to local computer if not already installed
    2. Clone the Sentinel Routine Querying Reporting Tool to access contents locally
      • Enter: git clone [clone URL]
  2. Create copy of Sentinel Routine Querying Reporting Tool
    1. Rename root folder of copy of Sentinel Routine Querying Reporting Tool to distinguish version from others or original content retrieved from Sentinel GIT repository. Note the renamed directory will be referred to as the local root directory throughout this documentation.
    2. Ensure the following folders are included in the local root directory:
      • inputfiles
        • macros
          • lookuptables
      • output
      • sasprograms
      • templatefiles
    3. Ensure location can be accessed by SAS
  3. Locate and organize QRP output data
    1. Note this location must differ from that of the local root directory and will include materials utilized and output by the QRP
    2. Ensure data are organized within a central location with separate folders per each Data Partner (DP) to be analyzed by the Sentinel Routine Querying Reporting Tool
    3. Ensure directory and folders can be accessed by SAS
  4. From local root directory, open sasprograms qrp_report.sas
  5. Navigate to the User Input section and update master parameters. Master parameters are organized by their function in this program and this technical specification as follows:
    1. INFOLDER
    2. DATAROOT
    3. REPORTROOT
    4. CREATEREPORTFILE
  6. Save updated program qrp_report.sas and run (preferably in batch mode)
  7. Review output files noting that output materials (including log, output report, and SAS .sas7bdat datasets) will be saved to output folder within local root directory
