+<h3>Configuring the API metadata file data source properties</h3>
+<p>Using the API metadata file data source from an SDK is a good option, for example, for cases when you have network restrictions for using the Web data source option. This data source only requires a suitable SDK to be present.</p>
+<p>To configure the API metadata file data source, do the following:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>On the <b>Properties</b> tab, select <b>API Metadata files from the SDK</b> from the <b>Data Source</b> drop-down list.
+<p><img src="screenshots\sdk_data_source_properties.png"></p></li>
+<li>
+From the listbox, select an SDK from your local workstation.To aid selection ,cached/uncached information is displayed against each sdk.
+<p>With applicable SDKs, API Query starts seeking for the existing <i>.metaxml</i> files from the SDK.</p>
+<p>If you have problems with the SDK, see the <a href="#tips">Tips and hints</a> below for more information. </p> 
+
+</li>
+</ol>
+<p>Next, you can start an API query either from the <b>Search</b> tab or from the context menu of your project. For instructions, see the <i>Tasks</i> section in the Table of Contents in API Query Help.</p>

+<td><p>The SDK cannot be used in API queries. Select another SDK and try again.</p></td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td><p>Some of the data sources cannot be loaded. </p></td>
+<td><p>The SDK contains API metadata files that are not formally valid XML. These files are excluded from API queries. </p><p>(If possible, to fix the issue, notify the API's responsible person about the problem.)</p></td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td><p>The SDK contents have changed since it was first loaded. </p></td>
+<td><p>You can refresh the local cache of the specified SDK by clicking <b>Refresh cache</b>. </p><p>Refreshing the SDK data is useful in cases when the metadata files have been updated or errors detected earlier have been corrected. </p></td>
