Create and Configure the Metadata Access Service

The Metadata Access Service is an application service that allows the Developer tool to access the Hadoop environment to import and preview metadata. If the domain uses non-Kerberos authentication, you can create and configure the Metadata Access Service. If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, don't choose to create the Metadata Access Service.

To create the Metadata Access Service, use the service creation wizard in the Administrator tool. When prompted, specify the required service information, such as the license, location, and the node on which the service can run.

In the Administrator tool, click the
