What is the PROC METAOPERATE output when the metadata server is down? Is there any?

Dear all,

Does anyone know what the output (and/or log content) of the METAOPERATE procedure will be when the SAS Metadata Server is down? For obvious reasons it is not something I can easily test myself ... 🙂

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Anne.

You'd probably get a connection refused error, you could try by specifying an incorrect port first, like options metaport=8562;
1 proc metaoperate
2 action=status;
3 run;

ERROR: A connection refused usually indicates the target server is not active. Or, if active, it
may be listening on a different port or service.
ERROR: The Bridge Protocol Engine Socket Access Method was unable to connect to host
meta.example.com, port 8561.
ERROR: The TCP/IP tcpSockConnect() support routine failed with error 10061 (The connection was
refused.).
