Error description
defect in IMAM GUI and has been fixed in IS 8.9 (RTC 131985)
Local fix
Problem summary
Select import assets dialog fails to recognize checkbox (boolean) import parameter values Certain connectors or bridges which provide the option to browse and select assets for import do not send correct values for checkbox (boolean type) import parameters, and therefore may not return expected asset results. For example, when the 'Include Views' parameter is checked for the DB2 Connector, but no views are returned. In these cases, values are passed as 'on' as the value of these parameters instead of 'True' or 'False'.
Problem conclusion
This patch resolves the stated problem so that any checkbox (boolean) import parameter values are correctly sent as either 'True' or 'False' depending on the parameter check state.
Temporary fix
