After applying hot fix E9BB86, you will receive the following error when you run PROC METALIB on a pre-assigned library that has not been allocated in the current SAS session:

The hot fix introduces an intentional change in the functionality of PROC METALIB such that the procedure now detects when a library has been defined in metadata with the "Library is pre-assigned" attribute. Furthermore, if the library is pre-assigned, PROC METALIB expects it to already be allocated. Prior to installing the hot fix, the procedure would attempt to allocate the library, update the repository, and clear the libref. This caused problems for some applications, like SAS^® Data Integration Studio (refer to Problem Note 17580 for details.)

As a result of this change, you must now allocate any pre-assigned library in the SAS session where you run PROC METALIB, either using an autoexec file or by explicitly including the LIBNAME statement in the program prior to the PROC METALIB step.
