MetaBrokers: Erwin --> DS

Post by admin »

Im trying to import Erwin 3.5.2 metadata into DataStage.
It seems to open the Erwin model OK, load up all the data from the model, but when I select
the Filter or Select All button on the import dialog box, it returns to DS Manager with no sign of the metadata.

I have loaded the Erwin 3.5.2 MetaBroker, DS Metabroker, Bus Obj metabroker, and the API from the CA/ERwin site. We have not purchased/installed MetaStage.

Has anyone experienced this before ?

regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Do you have ERWin installed on the PC (where DS Client is installed)? If
you have, then you shouldnt have any problem. I have done this several
times and no problem other than the only time when I tried with without
ERWin installed.
You might want to call up the customer support.

Peter,
The way the filter/select all works is that when you initially import the
ERWin metadata, it creates an intermediate file (dapgui ????) from which you
can select and filter the table definition.

Pavan,

Erwin is installed. It seems to relate more to the DataStage metabroker because it fails at the step when trying to encode the Erwin definitions from the intermediate file.

Peter
