Looking for a way to automate recreation of meta data -- this works for me:
-* File CREATE_SYNONYM.fex
-*-
-* GLOBAL VARIABLES SET PRIOR TO ENTERING FEX...
-*
-DEFAULT &SYNONYM = '.';
-DEFAULT &&APPNAME = 'MSSQL';
-DEFAULT &&DBNAME = '.';
-DEFAULT &&DBMS = 'SQLMSS';
-DEFAULT &&ADAPTOR = 'SQL10';
-RUN
-IF &SYNONYM EQ '.' GOTO HELP
-TYPE /*

-TYPE */
-RUN
-DOS IF EXIST E:\IBI\64BIT\APPS\&&APPNAME.EVAL\&SYNONYM.EVAL.* DEL E:\IBI\64BIT\APPS\&&APPNAME.EVAL\&SYNONYM.EVAL.*
-RUN
-TYPE /*
-TYPE || Create new &SYNONYM
-TYPE */
-RUN
CREATE SYNONYM &&APPNAME.EVAL/&SYNONYM.EVAL FOR &&DBNAME.EVAL.dbo.&SYNONYM.EVAL DBMS &&DBMS.EVAL AT &&ADAPTOR.EVAL
END
-RUN
-TYPE /*

-RUN
TABLE FILE &SYNONYM.EVAL
PRINT *

ON TABLE HOLD AS SYNTEST
END
-RUN
