When the SAS^® Metadata Server has Workunit Journaling enabled and the %OMABAKUP macro is used to back up your SAS^® Metadata Repositories, the following messages may appear in the SAS Metadata Server log:

PauseRepository Id=A0000001, Name=REPOSMGR, State=READONLY.
The I/O subsystem has returned error message 'ERROR: Write access to member RPOSMGR.RPOSCTRL.DATA is denied.'.
 

The %OMABAKUP macro pauses the REPOSMGR (repository manager) for READONLY access. The write access error message is written to the SAS Metadata Server log before it is determined that this is not a problem. This error should be ignored only when it occurs during the %OMABAKUP execution.

If the error should occur while the %OMABAKUP is not running, there may be an issue. In that case, please contact Technical Support and provide the SAS Metadata Server log(s) indicating the error.
