Error when exporting/importing

[Former Member]

I am using MDM 7.1

When I export the schema from my Dev system to import into QA I get the following Error:

"This repository requires additional steps before transport. See the MDS log for details.

In the log my issue is that I am trying to export an Assignment that includes an expression that uses "look-ups".

In my Dev system I removed the expression to confirm if this is the issue, once I no longer have expressions with look-ups then it allows me to export the schema. I then tries to import it to QA (since the expressions are not changing I planned on excluding them from the import as a temporary workaround.

however I get the same error message when trying to import. It seems that I can not export or import with a system that has an assignment with an expression that uses look-ups.

Is there some config I am missing?

Sorry, I do not understand, there is no option of File Type. It is creating an xml.

Hi Brad,

Please check all your assignments in QA if all the values used in assignment are present in Lookup table .Suppose I have a field Staus which is getting values from Lookup table Statuses.I have created an assignment "Status[Active]".Now Active has to be there in Statuses Lookup Table.Please check for such Assignemnts .No need to delete them.

Hi Brad,

assignments/validations are a general problem when it comes to Schema exports/imports! What you can do in case there are not too many assignments - is to delete the assignments and create them new (manually) after you have imported the schema.

Hope this helps a little.

Neethu, are you doing this currently? WHich version and patch are you on?

I Have checked and the values exist in DEV and QA, But I still get the error when exporting. I'm thinking the patch I am using has a bug.
