Problem Note 57108: SAS® Data Integration Studio command-line batch deployments fail and return the error "Unable to initialize the metadata factory"
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS Data Integration Studio, if you change the name of the metadata repository from the default name Foundation, command-line batch deployments fail and produce the following errors:
ERROR Unable to initialize the metadata factory.
com.sas.metadata.remote.MdException: CORBA does not allow a null string to be used as a parameter
for a remote method call. Often, an empty string is an acceptable substitute for a null string.
To work around this problem, do not modify the name of the metadata repository from the default name Foundation.
