Cut and paste from SQL Explorer enters VDBName as Model name in the xmi file, but valids in transformation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIIDDES-337 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIIDDES-337 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Debbie Steigner Fix For: Future Attachments: 365698.zip Using my attached Model Project Set (365698.zip)(Issue tracker ticket) Execute the NewVDB.VDB in the Designer, right click on DateTZ_Oracle.DATETZ.TABLE2 table and "Generate Select in SQL Editor": select ROW_ID, TZ_USED, TS_STRING, DATEVAL, TS_VAL, TS_W_TZ_VAL, TS_W_LTZ_VAL from "NewVDB"."DateTZ_Oracle.DATETZ.TABLE2" Return to the Designer Perspective and create a new Base Table under the VModel, paste the the clipboard contents from the SQL Editor into the Transformation Editor, click "Save/Validate SQL". You'll notice the validator removes the "NewVDB" name and the quotes and validates and saves the transformation: SELECT ROW_ID, TZ_USED, TS_STRING, DATEVAL, TS_VAL, TS_W_TZ_VAL, TS_W_LTZ_VAL FROM DateTZ_Oracle.DATETZ.TABLE2 Now Save, Build and Synchronize the NewVDB.VDB. Execute again and query the new View table. You'll receive a "Group does not exist: NewVDB.TABLE2" error. The xmi file contains the VDB name as the model name in the transformation. But apparently, if you go back into the transformation and make any changes and save/validate again it corrects the issue. (Turned SQL Optimization off, saved, Turned it back on, saved)
