As noted before, while names may have something to do with it, the lineage is not done by simply matching names --- at least not "post import". With the BI metadata, lineage back to the table is done at BI import time....if the bridge didn't already establish the lineage to a table, and cr...

I haven't actually tried installing without MWB, but there shouldn't be any dependency on Metadata Workbench in order to use Metadata Asset Manager. Metadata Asset Manager, since 8.7 a year ago, is "the" preferred "go to" method for metadata imports and for managing the repositor...

I don't think so...it's not a natural "pass thru" kind of Stage....that works for some stages that make sense as an intermediate "active" and "in flow" stage, but MQ is nearly always in a source-only or target-only pattern. If you are doing something creative with MQ, g...

Some things to consider....Have you tried other files; are you importing via "Create Extension Mapping Document" or "Create Extended Data Source" or somewhere else? Have you tried moving the file elsewhere? Are you importing it from a unix or linux environment or a windows enviro...

My memory on the MQ Connector is that you have to "put" the entire message....if you want the four columns in the message body, concatenate them together into one column before going to the final input link into the MQ Connector.

They might mean escaping them in various ways as per xml rules....so that a '<' comes thru escaped as < or '&' becomes & . There is also a hex possibility, where a decimal 019 would be something like &X#019; Any and all of those can easily be done by UV/Basic and ereplace.....but there a...

The commands stay there....all the convenient stuff is still usable as always.....but the run-time underpinnings have been removed.....except for maybe needing to recompile something, it is a transparent change that is also hoped will increase stability.

I like the idea, especially if it was automatically its own special "category" or "holding area" where people could even directly comment on the meaning, even if they might only be standard users.

you should be getting as many as 6 or 7. If not try other wsdl's. The import is not working correctly if you don't get the message in and message out table defs as well as the others for the basic Operation itself. For testing, there are lots of really good ones at www.xmethods.net . Do a search (co...

Look in the Web Services category of Table definitions..there should be a lot of table defs created when you finish the import...if not, something went wrong during the import of the wsdl.....at the very least you should see an _OUT, and _IN, and a _MSGOUT and a _MSGIN, or similar......
