Error: Could not find transformation definition for :Flat file src_sample **Failed to import:m_sample

Kindly provide me a solution.

Answer 1

The actual reason is this 'shortcut does not exist in the original folder'. So source Flat file src_sample doesnt exist in your target repository's folder. To elaborate, in your source repo, you may have a folder named 'shared' where this file definition src_sample exists. And you used it as shortcut in your own folder (say 'myfolder') where m_sample resides. While copying to target repository same shortcut should exist.

Depending on situation, solution may be like this -

1. Folder 'shared' may not be shared in target repository. Modify it as shared and then check if src_sample exists or not. If yes, just copy m_sample again. If no then follow step2.

2. copy that object definition src_sample first to target repository in 'shared' folder. Then try to copy m_sample
