Try removing the ‘library is pre-assigned’ property.
For further help with debugging, use the transaction logging option:
proc metalib tl=16383; /_ 4095 in earlier versions of SAS /
omr (library=“My meta lib” metarepository=Foundation);
updaterule=(delete);
report(TYPE=DETAIL);
run;
Removing quotes from the metarepository might also help.
Finally, try setting the metadata library to the same name as the (8 character) SAS library. This is another known cause of occasional issues.
