Install the Metadata Manager Agent

The Metadata Manager Agent is a program that Metadata Manager uses to access metadata sources and extract source metadata. By default, the Metadata Manager Agent runs on the nodes where the Metadata Manager Service runs.

To extract metadata from Business Objects, you must install the Metadata Manager Agent separately on a Windows machine. The Metadata Manager Agent and a single version of the Business Objects client must be on the same machine. If multiple versions of the Business Objects client are on the same machine as the Metadata Manager Agent, the agent cannot extract the Business Objects metadata.

The Business Objects client must be able to connect to the source repository. If the client is not on the same machine as the Metadata Manager Service, install the Metadata Manager Agent on the same machine as the client. Ensure that you run the Metadata Manager Agent as a desktop application and not as a Windows service. In addition, ensure that you do not install the Metadata Manager Agent on the same machine as the Business Objects server.
