proc metadata error

Dear,

In the process of automation, I am trying to use proc metadata to add a single user with the basic details to SAS Management Console with DefaultAuth domain.

My code:
filename _outxml "/localwork2/outxml.xml";
filename _respons "/localwork2/respons.xml";

proc metadata in=_outxml out=_respons;
run;

My _outxml code which is input to upload in MC is as below

</ExternalIdentities>

</Domain>

</Login>

</Logins>

</Person>

</Metadata>

<Reposid>XXXXX.XXXXXX7</Reposid>

</AddMetadata>

When I run this, it fails with below error and user is not added.

I tried to solve this by removing the Domain Information tag highlighted in blue above and now the user is added this time ; but without Domain info DefaultAuth.

Why it fails when I try add with DefaultAuth . While I can manually edit the user and add him under DefaultAuth domain, I need help with the DefaultAuth information also to be uploaded in MC by proc metadata.

Please help with the changes required. Thanks a lot in advance.

-Mark

Hi Mark,

i think you are not using the reference to the Authentication Domain as intended.

See: SAS(R) 9.3 Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage Here the existing object is directly adressed by its metadata ID A53TPPVI.A1000001 and not its name.

So i suggest you lookup the ID of your DefaultAuth Domain and try this request:
