Change the Properties of a Metadata Repository

You can change the name or the registered access mode of a metadata repository. For foundation repositories, you can also change the location of users' folders. Follow these steps:

Log on to SAS Management Console as a user with the appropriate credentials. See Who Can Do What in the Metadata Manager Plug-in.
On the Plug-ins tab, expand the Metadata Manager node and the Active Server node.
In the Active Server tree, right-click the repository whose properties you want to change, and select Properties.
If you want to change the repository's name, enter the new name on the General tab and click OK. When you rename a custom repository, the corresponding folder in the Folders tab is also renamed.

CAUTION:

Do not rename a custom repository if the repository (or one of its subfolders) contains an object that has an association with another object. Doing so could cause the associated objects to malfunction.

When you rename a custom repository, the corresponding folder in the SAS Folders tree is automatically renamed to the new name.
If you want to change the repository's access mode, click the Registration tab and make a selection in the Access field. (For a description of the access modes, see About SAS Metadata Repository Access Modes.) Then click OK.
The Registration tab provides a field in which you can change the location of users’ home folders. If you need to make a change to this field, it is recommended that you first contact SAS Technical Support for additional steps that might be required.
