Problem Note 31079: "ERROR: Bridge protocol engine socket access method was unable to connect an outcall socket" when using 'Explore from here' in the METABROWSE utility
If you provide the server IP address instead of a machine name in
the connection properties when you invoke the METABROWSE utility,
and subsequently attempt to select the 'Explore from here' option
for any object, you will receive this error:
ERROR: Bridge protocol engine socket access method was unable to
connect an outcall socket to local.machine.name:8561, error = 10061
(The connection was refused.).
The name of the machine in which the SAS session is executing
appears in place of 'local.machine.name'.
To circumvent the problem, use the fully qualified metadata server
host name instead of the IP address.
