Importing Metadata from Db2, having Aliases can cause duplicates in the stats

Troubleshooting


Problem

Importing metadata from DB2 using Metadata Asset manager shows duplicate keys when there are aliases assigned to the tables. These duplicate entries are not a cause of concern, and they get duplicated in active repository during a re-import.

Symptom

Duplicate in Metadata Asset manager import for Keys and key Components

Cause

Aliases of Tables in DB2 are not distinguishable to ignore them in import and tables with Foreign key references to different tables

Resolving The Problem

Remove aliases for these tables. Alternate is to use Native DB2 connector or ODBC Connector to import tables.
