Import / create Integration knowledge modules

et4891May 28 2021 — edited May 28 2021

I am new to ODI and was going to catch some exceptions such as making sure what is passed is a number instead of varchar, or validate the length then record these exceptions into a different table.
Came to tutorials and notes that it seems like I should be using Check Knowledge Module which seems to be linked with Integration Knowledge Module being used while mapping. From what I read this will catch exceptions and put them inside an E$_table, so I want to try it out.
I was using VM ODI downloaded from https://www.oracle.com/middleware/technologies/data-integrator/odi-demo-downloads.html
It includes an append Integration Knowledge module, then I started using the big data lite VM from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/bigdatalite-v411.html which is more updated version of ODI and the Oracle Database too.

But in the big data lite ODI, I do not see the append option in Integration Knowledge module, I wonder if there's a way I can either export from the previous VM then import into the new VM. I was checking googling but most of them were talking about exporting / importing environment, repositories and so on.

Can someone shade me some light on how to progress?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advices.
P.S. If I am actually on the wrong road of wanting to catch exceptions to another table such as if `TO_NUMBER(value)` gives an exception error or if even possible `LENGTH(value) != 5` something like these. Please let me know and if can lead me to where I can find tutorials with images, I really appreciate the help.
Thanks a lot

Hi Bob,
When I have seen something this extreme, usually something went wrong in the installation and it needs to be reinstalled.
What version of our extension are they using?
What OS and version are they using?
What version of the .NET Runtime are they using?
Lets try to reinstall, and lets wait after each step to give it a chance to complete and open and close VS Code with each step:
Uninstall the extension, wait 2 minutes, restart VS Code, wait 2 more minutes, reinstall of the extension, wait 2 minutes, and then restart vscode.
Let me know if this fixes it for them.

Hello,
Thanks for your help.
It was due, as you suspected, as a missing correct .NET Runtime.
Issue fixed !

Hi Bob,
We are supposed to prompt the user if they don't have the correct .NET Runtime installed and we offer to take them to a web page to show them how to install it.
Did that happen in this case? If not, that is a serious issue and I would appreciate it if you could let me know what versions of .NET Runtime they had installed on their machine when this failure occurred. If we did notify them about the missing .NET Runtime, but they ignored it, then this is expected behavior.
