The following error might appear in the MetadataServerDDMMMYY.log file:

This error might indicate that there are incorrect values stored for the IOM Bridge connections to the metadata server or that there might be incorrect values stored in the metadata configuration files.

The metadata configuration files contain information about how to access the metadata server. For additional details on the metadata configuration files with respect to IOM Bridge connections, see Using ITConfig to Create Metadata Configuration Files

To alleviate the error, try uninstalling and reinstalling the SAS^® Metadata Server service by doing the following:

1. Go to Start ► Run and then enter cmd to bring up a command window.
   
   
2. Change to your SAS configuration directory (that is, SAS-config-dir\Lev1\SASMain\MetadataServer) and enter the following command:
   MetadataServer.bat remove
   
   
3. Then, reinstall the metadata service from the same directory by entering:
   metadataserver.bat install
   
   
4. Now, go to Start ► Programs ► SAS ► BI Server and select Start SAS Metadata Server to start the metadata service.

If removing and reinstalling the SAS Metadata Server service does not work, then you might need to uninstall and reinstall Base SAS^® and SAS^® Integration Technologies.
