When adding new metadata identities to a SAS^® Metadata Repository using the programmatic approach of user import and synchronization, the %MDUCHGLB macro might generate messages similar to the following:

The problem occurs when the synchronization process identifies an identity to add to metadata, and the KEYID value is longer than 7 bytes. This error causes the synchronization process to fail. No updates are made to metadata.

If no identities are identified to be added, then the synchronization process correctly updates existing metadata identities, and deletes identities that are identified for deletion.

As a circumvention, use the %MDUCHGL macro. This macro is the same macro that was used in SAS^® 9.1.3. It is still provided and supported in SAS^® 9.2 installations. The SAS 9.1.3 macro does not perform block loading, and is somewhat less efficient when there are a lot of metadata changes.

For more information on the %MDUCHGLB macro, see Appendix 2 "User Import Macros" in SAS^® 9.2 Intelligence Platform Security Administration Guide.
