<br />
I just started at a new company and they are having trouble with the model.xml that all files for the framework are located on the network - the reports run but can not be modified the error returned is 'Metadata not available.' they did put a copy of the model.xml and the .cpf file to make it available but I'm not sure how to fix the error. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
