Usage Note 43300: "No connection to the metadata server. Incomplete user credentials." when assigning a SAS® Information Map library in SAS® Enterprise Guide®
SAS Enterprise Guide will not assign a SAS Information Map library for you, which means that if you right-click on a SAS Information Map library in the Server List and select Assign, you will see the following error:
The library could not be assigned by the SAS server.
--------------------------------------------------------
[Error] No connection to the metadata server. Incomplete user credentials.
------------------------------ Technical Information Follows ------------------------------
SAS.EG.SDS.SDSException: <Exceptions><Exception><SASMessage severity="Error">
No connection to the metadata server. Incomplete user credentials.
</SASMessage></Exception></Exceptions>
at SAS.EG.SDS.Model.Library.Assign()
at SAS.EG.SDS.Views.View.OnAssign(Object sender, EventArgs e)
------------------------------ End of Technical Information ------------------------------
You will see the same error if you navigate to the library using the SAS Enterprise Guide Explorer.
If you need to open information maps as tables in SAS Enterprise Guide, you can directly assign the information map library by submitting the LIBNAME statement for the Information Maps engine. For example, you could submit the statement in a program window. To determine the correct syntax, you can copy the LIBNAME statement from SAS® Management Console. You don't need the MetaPass or MetaUser options. Following is a sample statement:
LIBNAME maplib SASIOIME MAPPATH="/Shared Data/MapsTables"
MetaServer="ms.machine.com" MetaPort=8561;
|
However, the recommended way to open information maps in SAS Enterprise Guide is to open them directly using File ► Open ► Information Map. This method of opening information maps supports the information map's folder structure, filters, and prompts, and it provides the ability to create custom prompts for the current session.
