Problem Note 50056: The Metadata Importer comparison mode in SAS® Data Integration Studio fails when Integrated Windows Authentication is used
 |  |  |  |  |
The Metadata Importer comparison mode does not work when Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) is used. Although the Metadata Importer finishes without an error, the Comparison Results window does not contain any results for this comparison.
In addition, the DataIntegrationStudio_Log file shows the following error:
Exception in thread "BackgroundOperation" java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sas.workspace.WsAppServer.getUserName(WsAppServer.java:1139) at com.sas.wadmin.changeanalysis.ComparisonResultsModel.runComparison(ComparisonResultsModel.java:2236) at com.sas.wadmin.changeanalysis.ComparisonResultsModel.runComparison(ComparisonResultsModel.java:2159) at com.sas.CWMImport.ComparisonUtil$ComparisonRunnable.run(ComparisonUtil.java:443) at com.sas.workspace.OpRequestUI$cOperationThread.run(OpRequestUI.java:927)
Currently the only workaround is to avoid using IWA.
