Using SAS Metadata Bridges 4.2 to load an Informatica file with the MetaIntegrationMultiModelXml bridge might produce the following error:

The problem occurs because the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) bridge has a dependency on the third-party JAR file, MIRExpressionLib.jar.

Workaround

To work around this problem, complete the following steps:

1. Access the MITI/expression/converter/MIRExpressionConverter class, which is located in the MIRExpressionLib.jar file in the [SASHome]/SASMetadataBridges/x.x/java directory.


2. Put the class in a dev directory. Here is an example: [SASHome]\SASMetadataBridges\4.1\dev.    
   Note: To ensure that you address the problem, you can copy some of the other MIR* JAR files, which contain utilities such as the expression lib, and save them in the dev directory too.


3. Perform a backup.


4. Edit the sas-metabridge-relationship-loader.ini file and add the following line to the end of the file:
   JavaArgs_xx=-Dsas.app.dev.class.dirs="[C:\Program Files\SASHome]\SASMetadataBridges\4.1\dev"
   In the line above, change the xx to the next number in the JavaArgs sequence.


5. Rerun the import.
