I am having trouble with importing metadata using the console. The error messages says - 'Failed while discovering. Please see log files for details.'. I am not sure to what log files it is referring. I have searched the Information Analyzer User Guide documentation for log and could not find the reference. I have searched this forum and could not find a reference. Maybe I missed something.

Can someone tell me to what log files the message is referring?

Thanks

Column Datatype error - when standardizing col names, a mass change of DATE to the standard abbrevation of DT inadvertinently changed the data type from DATE to DT causing issue.

Well spotted! We could have spent ages without guessing about the mass change!

And a valuable lesson about the dangers of unintended changes during global search and replace.

I am getting the same error. Can you give me an Idea of where you found that Error message or how did you find that is the cause?

This is the log

That log is native_stderr.log, and all its showing is one problem allocating memory (which was managed) and garbagecollect operations occurring as required (every minute suggests that some activity was finishing).

There's nothing in this particular problem to indicate that you have the same problem as sjfearnside. Unless you can prove that you have exactly the same problem, on the same version of software on the same hardware, please begin a new thread outlining your particular circumstances.
