DSXchange

At first glance, I would also expect it to use the correct order, but haven't seen it. Perhaps it has something to do with this being a set of complex types being further ordered? (as opposed to a simpler sequence of firstname, lastname, phone, that might occur more deeply in an xsd definition). Har...

...the answer is in the content that you can see.

You first have to "import" your xml schema defintion (xsd) via the "Library Manager" (you'll see this tab inside the stage assembly, or at the DS Designer main canvas when you do Import....Table Definitions).... Once you have the xsd properly imported, you will be able to select ...

...does the parent element use the "xs:sequence" indicator as the element containing each of these? That states the requirement of order --- otherwise they can be in any order.

I suspected it was an offensive character....good debugging. Glad you got it working.

as for the Cognos bridges.... As much as possible, you want to use the "Content Manager"....the first one in the list. You should always try it first.... and then in its "path" property (which you cut/paste from the cognos web pages for Package property details ..."View the ...

I'd still try it in server. It might identify an odd datatype issue.

Hard to say. A memory thing might be a guess. You aren't getting errors, but increasing the APT_DEFAULT_TRANSPORT_BLOCK_SIZE would be interesting to try... ...could also be an offensive character in the string somewhere...resulting in data being dropped...is it on EVERY test record? ...problems like...

Here's a suggestion. Start here. There are many other outlines and presentations, some far better than this, but this provides a brief high level overview of the "parts" of Info Server, and then also has links directly about the two pieces that you mention in the thread above (Information ...

glad it worked!

You import your tables and columns into Info Server. You import your reports into Info Server. You create any other objects you might want to include in lineage into Info Server. Then...Metadata Workbench can illustrate lineage for you once appropriate connections are made, either manually or automa...

Take your time...learn how BG works. Create as many main categories as you like --- and then delete them. Start over...see how things might be established at your company, and delete them again. You have to play with it to understand how it works. It's no problem deleting it, except that maybe one o...

Well.....that's a lot of things --- but all do-able. But start small..... Start with Business Glossary. Play with that for awhile. Create a simple category, maybe with just two subcategories. Add a few Terms to it. See how they can relate to each other. See how you enter their descriptions and other...

It sounds like a good idea, if it is policed somewhat...I started a similar thing in Facebook for discussing issues about metadata. More of an experiment in Facebook, really...to see where Facebook and career/work issues might successfully intersect.....but as Ray notes, it will probably be most suc...

If you are not familiar with DataStage and "Stages", then you need not worry about "data item binding". Yes, you can link two tables together...research "Extension Mapping Documents". No...imports of Cognos (using the Metadata Asset Manager or the Import/Export Manager,...
