The
Verify Metadata
Files tool analyzes key metadata server files to determine
whether they are corrupt and, when possible, recommends repairs that
can be applied. This tool might be useful if a metadata server failure
occurs or if a user experiences unexpected results when accessing
the server. For example, it might be useful if a repository cannot
be opened, a new repository cannot be registered, or metadata that
was previously accessible cannot be accessed. It might also be useful
if metadata associations have been broken.
When you run this tool,
do not select the option to
Repair immediately.
When the analysis is finished, select
View log to
determine whether any repairs are recommended. The metadata server
log provides further details. Then proceed as follows:
-
If any errors are reported, do
not proceed with the repair process. Instead, contact SAS Technical
Support for assistance.
-
If warnings are reported, but no
errors, then you can proceed with the repair process.
You can then proceed with the repairs, if necessary.
