At the SAMI SITE prompt, type in the first few letters of a site name. For example, you can type in ZZZTOG, and if your facility list is the same as ours, it will look like this:

SAMI SITE: ZZZTOGUS STNB    ME  STNB  4029AF   INACTIVE

Note that you must choose one of the items on the existing list of facilities. If you need to see the complete (and possibly long list), you can type ?? (as of this writing, a list of about 300 sites will appear). You can choose to enter if you want to see more sites, or you can hit ^ if you are ready to exit the list and put in the first few letters of a site name. Note also that it doesn’t really matter which one you select if you’re on a test system.

You’ll be prompted with something like this:

Are you adding 'ZZZTOGUS STNB' as a new SAMI SITE (the [nth])? No// _

where [nth] is an ordinal number representing the number of SAMI sites that will exist if you add this one. Type Y and press enter.

You will be given a series of prompts. SYMBOL will be a three-letter abbreviation for the test site (you will need to come up with an abbreviation). ACTIVE will be Y for Yes. DEFAULT PARAMETERS will be VHA, and there is no additional configuration necessary for the Select PARM prompt, so you can hit enter.

SYMBOL: TGS

DEFAULT PARAMETERS: VHA
