If all objects within an exported metadata package in SAS^® Data Integration Studio or BI Manager are not selected for import, incorrect and unexpected results can occur; particularly if the objects that are not selected already exist in the target repository.

The following error may be generated in some instances:

ERROR - Error importing metadata.  Reason:
com.sas.iom.SASIOMDefs.GenericError: This transaction failed because it
attempts to implicitly update an associated object in repository
XXXXXXXX and this repository does not have a dependency defined to the
repository identified in the XML request.

In addition to a hot fix being provided to correct this problem in Service Pack 4, the SAS Data Integration Studio and BI Manager clients will check for the existence of this hot fix before allowing the behavior that triggers the issue.
