  • 1.  A couple RFE's for Data modules

    Posted 02/19/20 02:36 PM
    ​After talking with IBM support, it was recommended that I create these RFE's for Data Modules.
    1. How metadata is refreshed in a data module (b), currently if you are refreshing data in a module that comes from another module(A) it over writes all the work you did in Module A in Module B.  I am going to add some screen shots to the idea. 
    2. If you create a navigation path in a common data module (A) and then add the table into Data Module B, the navigation doesn't come forward.   https://ibm-data-and-ai.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CA-I-2612

    Thanks!

    1.  I'm not 100% understanding the problem you are describing here. Could you clarify the steps you take to reproduce the problem please?

    2) The main complication here is that navigation paths can contain fields from many different tables. So if you only bring one table over module A into module B, but there's a nav path in A that includes items from all tables, how could the nave path in B work without those other tables?  Should the software bring the nav path over and simply strip out any fields that don't reside in the destination module?
