Troubleshooting
Problem
If a customer attempts to create an import specification in version 11.1.1 or higher they may see an error similar to the one below:
"Column index XX already used in: XX"
Symptom
Users will be unable to use an import specification that uses the same entry for two different values in controller.
Cause
This change was intentionally added with a custom error code on request from customers to avoid importing data in wrong controller dimensions.
Resolving The Problem
To workaround the limitation it is suggested extra column in an excel sheet/import file to allow the same values to be imported into a parameter in IBM controller.
