Problem Note 16336: Error when switching repositories when the BI Manager plugin (sas.smc.bimanager.jar) is installed.

DetailsAboutRate It
When selecting a Project or Custom Repository from the drop down list in
the SAS Management Console (SMC) or when creating a profile that
connects to the Project Repository, the following error may occur:

   Error accessing metadata: BIP Service Software Component is
   missing from repository.
   This repository was not properly initialized, was not
   upgraded from a previous version, or has been corrupted.

After clicking 'OK', the error message disappears and the Custom or
Project Repository can be used without problems.  Customers get a false
failure, which could lead the customer to try to fix something that does
not need to be fixed.

The "workaround" is not to install the BI Manager plug-in.
