Problem:
If you receive a Message at "Event Viewer" with something like this:"The Managed Metadata Service 'Managed Metadata Service Application' is inaccessible."
Follow the steps bellow!
Solution:
- Go to “Central Administration” and select “Manage service applications”.
- Select "Managed Metadata service application" (outside the name) (Picture 1)
- Then click on "Properties” (Picture 1)
- (Picture 1)
- Save your "Database name" (Picture 1)
- Append "_temp" to the "Database name", so it will be "SPT13PRD_SvcApp_Metadata_temp" in my case.
- Confirm if the change took affect. If not repeat. (In my case It took twice).
- Wait 5 minutes.
- Do the Step 6 but instead of append, remove the "_temp".
- Repeat Step 7.
- Wait 1 minute, so changes take affect.
- Select Administrators (Picture 1 - Left of "Manage") and add the SharePoint Administrators Accounts (At least your User).
- Finish
You should be able to use your manage Metadata Service.
Have a nice Day!
