SAS Marketing Automation enables you to schedule creation of your information map metadata by creating a job that you subsequently put into a SAS Schedule Manager flow. However, if you attempt to create such a flow in the SAS Management Console Schedule Manager plug-in, the metadata generation job is not listed among the available jobs.

This problem occurs because SAS Marketing Automation creates the information map metadata job without a value for the location field.

To create the information map metadata job for scheduling in the SAS Schedule Manager, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to SAS Management Console as a CI administrator.
2. Navigate to Application Management ► Customer Intelligence ► Administration resources ► Information Map Metadata.
3. In the right-hand pane, right-click the SAS Information Map that requires metadata to be updated.
4. Click Properties. Select the data types that require updated metadata.
5. Choose to schedule on date set using SAS Schedule Manager using the drop-down list.
6. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

When you follow the steps above, a dialog box is returned with contents similar to the following:

To schedule the counts metadata job in a flow in SAS Schedule Manager, follow the steps below:

1. Search for the job in SAS Management Console using the name of the job that was returned in the dialog box at the end of the steps above.
2. Right-click on the job returned in the search results and choose Properties.
3. Edit the location field for the job and browse to the correct location for the job.
4. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
5. Use the SAS Management Console Schedule Manager to incorporate the information map metadata job into a flow. This job now appears in the jobs that are available for scheduling.
