METADATA Procedure

Syntax: METADATA Procedure


Requirement: The metadata server must be running.
Tip: Be careful when you modify metadata objects, because many objects have dependencies on other objects. A product like SAS Management Console or SAS Data Integration Studio is recommended for the routine maintenance of metadata. Before you use PROC METADATA, run a full backup of repositories. For more information, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide. If you create a new object, the object might be unusable if you do not create the proper attributes and associations. For more information, see SAS Metadata Model: Reference.
