DataStage: Problems importing metadata by via bridges

Troubleshooting


Problem

IBM® InfoSphere™ DataStage®: Cannot import metadata using the via bridges option when top-level folder is selected as the destination for the metadata.

Symptom

One of the following messages is displayed:

  • Unable to convert the following items: A folder \ does not exist
  • Unable to convert the following items: A new Object has been specified with an invalid Folder

Cause

You should not be able to select the top-level folder, but this option is not disabled for importing using the via bridges option.

Resolving The Problem

Repeat the import via bridges operation but this time specify a valid destination folder in the Select Folders window. If necessary, create a new folder in the Select Folders window.
