In reply to Per Helmark.

Per,

From the error message, I cannot tell. I suggest that you work with SAS Tech Support to investigate.

In order to add the task to metadata roles, you must be using an account that has privileges to create this metadata entry. Also, the application "roles and capabilities" data must already be present (usually done during application configuration when you install/configure the SAS Metadata Server and SAS Enterprise Guide).

If either of those conditions are not met, you would receive a more specific error message. I was just able to add the "Squeeze Data" task into my own environment, so I don't think it's an issue with the task.
