Troubleshooting
Problem
The InfoSphere Metadata Workbench tutorial includes a file in compressed format with import files that you need for the tutorial. Some of the import files are in an ISX format. The import command fails for these files.
Symptom
When you run the istool utility to import these files, the import fails and displays this error message:
ERROR: invalid syntax. Missing value or closing quote.
Cause
In the istool utility for IBM InfoSphere Information Server, version 8.7, the -cm parameter requires a value.
Resolving The Problem
Add two single quotation marks ( '' ) after the -cm parameter:
Example:
Istool>
import -dom SERVERNAME -u USRNAME -p PASSWORD -ar FULL_PATH_TO_FILE -cm ''
