hi all,

i have a few excel and flat files which need to be profiled, cleansed and matched.

but when i try to go upload a file , i get an error

logon to information steward -> go to project -> file format section -> new ->

-> excel file format -> enter details and try to browse to sample file ->

-> got error as below

next i went to cmc to define a connection to a file, but i am not really able to enter the information steward option here

logon to cmc -> applications -> information steward application -> not able to click on it , nothing really happens here.

can anyone please help me on this?

Hi sweta,

for defining a cmc file connection go to cmc--> Information steward-->data insight--> Right click--> New connection--> Select connection as file connection and give the path of the file-->test connection-->save.

once connection gets created define file format and add the file to project and do the remaining activities.

hope it answers ur question.

mark it as correct if it is helpful

regards

krishna mohan

Hi Krishna,

I didn't find the option to go to information steward directly under cmc-home, snapshot below.

Please suggest.

Which userid are you using? If you don't have the privilege for accessing an entry in the CMC, it's simply not shown.

Log on with Administrator and you'l get the full list of options:

Hi swetha,

In CMC if Information steward  is not available, there is some problem with the installation of IS.

If the installation has been done properly, it should appear like data services icon which you have attached in the above screenshot.
