Creating, Registering, Moving, Copying, Renaming, and Deleting SAS Metadata Repositories

Unregistering a Metadata Repository

When you unregister a metadata repository, information about the repository is removed from the repository manager, and the repository can no longer be accessed by clients.

You might need to temporarily unregister a repository if you are moving the repository to a new location on the same metadata server.

CAUTION:: Unregistering the foundation repository makes the metadata server unusable.
Therefore, you should unregister a foundation repository only in special situations, such as those that are described in the preceding list.

The following rules apply to uregistering a repository:

You cannot unregister a foundation repository if other repositories (including custom repositories or project repositories) are registered. You must first unregister the other repositories.
Unregistering a foundation repository requires special credentials (see Who Can Do What in the Metadata Manager Plug-in).
You cannot unregister a repository that is in an Offline or ReadOnly state. You must first change the access mode of the repository to Online or Administration.

To unregister a repository:

Log on to SAS Management Console as a user with the appropriate credentials (see Who Can Do What in the Metadata Manager Plug-in).
In the Metadata Manager, expand the Active Server node.
Right-click the repository that you want to unregister, and select Unregister Repository.

To re-register a repository:

Log on to SAS Management Console as a user with the appropriate credentials (see Who Can Do What in the Metadata Manager Plug-in).
In the Metadata Manager, expand the Active Server node.
Right-click the Active Server node, and select Register Repository. Then follow the instructions on the wizard pages.
