Usage Note 36575: New XML tags are available for the omaconfig.xml file to analyze and repair a damaged SAS® Metadata Repository
There are two new tags that can be added to the omaconfig.xml file for the SAS® Metadata Server. The first, <DEBUG ANALYZE_METADATA_FILES="y"/>, allows you to analyze your SAS Metadata Repository files for damage. The second, <DEBUG REPAIR_METADATA_FILES="y"/>, performs the same analyze as the first, but also immediately repairs many types of corruption that can occur in the SAS Metadata Repository.
These options provide the same functionality as the "Verify Metadata Files" check box in the Analyze/Repair Tools in SAS® Management Console.
However, sometimes the repository manager or the Foundation repository are so badly damaged that they cannot be opened. In this case, you will not be able to connect to the SAS Metadata Server using the SAS Management Console. Instead, you can add the new tags to the omaconfig.xml file and restart the SAS Metadata Server. The server then performs the analysis or attempts the repair as the server session is initialized.
It is not necessary to include both tags in your omaconfig.xml file if you want to perform the repair, doing so is redundant.
Note: These options should not be left in the omaconfig.xml file after the analysis or repair is completed. Doing so could significantly affect SAS Metadata Server performance.
