| Requirement: | The metadata server must be running. |
| Tip: | Be careful when you modify metadata objects, because many objects have dependencies on other objects. A product like SAS Management Console or SAS Data Integration Studio is recommended for the routine maintenance of metadata. Before you use PROC METADATA to create or modify metadata, perform a server backup. For more information, see METAOPERATE Procedure. |
