Problem Note 68288: The GRDSVC_ENABLE function does not open the Metadata Server Configuration dialog box

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

When you use the GRDSVC_ENABLE function in an interactive Base SAS® session, the Metadata Server Configuration dialog box does not pop up and the following notes appear in the SAS log:

%let rc=%sysfunc(grdsvc_enable(all,server=SASApp));
NOTE: Connecting to SAS Metadata Server produced: ERROR: Insufficient information provided for a connection to the metadata
server.
NOTE: SAS application server not found; the local machine will be used.

The workaround is to specify the system options to connect to the metadata server before you run the GRDSVC_ENABLE function:

Example:
   options metaserver     = "server.name"
           metaport       =  8561
           metarepository = "Foundation"
           metauser       = "xxxxxx\sasdemo"
           metapass       = "xxxxxx";
