Import map differs from one environment to another environment

Hi All,

We are facing problem with import map when we transported the map from one environment in to other environment.

We have addded some fields in MDM console for repository and created the map in the import manager in development environment.

As part of transportation, we have transported the schema file and transported the import map in to testing environment.

But problem here is the map which is tranported from development environment is not mapping some fields in testing environment and it leads to map is not working in testing environment.

But same map is working in development environment.

Please suggest any solution for this issue.

Thanks,

Narendra

Hi Narendra

this is known behaviour of MDM and its a pain.

So if you have changed anything in the data model the import map will not work. Reason is in the import map all the tables and fields are referred by some IDs like F121, T121 and not with their tecnical names.

If we do any changes like say rearranging the field sequence in console these field IDs gets renamed and the map is not able to restore the mappings done.

REmedy: Transport all the changes done in repository using schema import option in test from Dev and then import the map. It may work.

best regards

Ravi

Hi Narendra,

We have experienced this too .

Alternative to handle this is to transport Import maps separately after your repository transports are complete.

Please follow the below steps.

1) Connect to your Dev environment using Import manager

2) Export your Import map to your local drive > save as a .map file.

3) Connect to your Testing environment using Import manager

4) Import the .map file from local drive > save with a valid name.

5) Perform data import using the map.

Hope this helps.
