If a metadata repository contains more than one "SAS ETL Studio Custom Tree" or "SAS Data Integration Studio Custom Tree", the "Update SAS Data Integration Studio Metadata" tool within SAS Management Console only registers the first custom tree that the software encounters.

Currently, the only workaround is to continue executing the update tool until all of the custom trees are properly registered. You can accomplish this by performing the following steps:

1. Open SAS Management Console and log on as the unrestricted user.
2. Open SAS® Data Integration Studio and log on as the unrestricted user to the lowest, dependent (custom) repository that is defined within the metadata server. If no dependent, custom repositories exist, then just log on to Foundation SAS®. (See the additional note below for more details.)
3. Select the Custom tab within SAS® Data Integration Studio; then expand each of the repositories.
4. Note the current number of "SAS Data Integration Studio Custom Tree" folders that are under each repository.
5. Return to SAS Management Console and execute the "Update SAS Data Integration Studio Metadata" tool from the Tools menu.
6. Return to SAS Data Integration Studio and refresh each repository from the Custom tab. Then check for any additional custom tree folders.
7. Repeat this process until no additional custom tree folders appear under any of the Foundation SAS or Custom repositories that are defined on the metadata server.

Note: If you have multiple Custom repositories that form separate, dependent branches off of the Foundation SAS repository, you may need to open multiple sessions of SAS Data Integration Studio in order to check all repositories for new custom tree folders.
