I giving 2 inputs to a lookupstage. One is output of a shared container and the other is the db2 source. When i compile the job, iam getting the following error

Link meta data must be consistent in order to use Shared Container 'ConvertFunction'
Link types must match.
Names of columns on the container stage link must be identical to, or a superset of,
those on the mapped link.


But the metadata in the shared container and the metadata in the job that iam calling container is exactly same. The input side of the container is OK..but for the output side of the container in the job, iam getting the above error. Again i want to tell is that the metadata is exactly the same....can anybody help me?
