Error description
Issues when creating a Virtual table in Information Analyzer through REST API/CLI (Not from Information Analyzer GUI Console). This happens when the base table has a "." contained in the table name. When the metadata of filename.csv file is imported into IA the Table Name will appear as customer.csv. when creating a Virtual table of one or two columns based on the base table by submitting a xml file through an Project update request from REST API, it throws an error or is unable to create a Virtual table. However, If the base table fiename to 'customer' instead of "customer.csv" , they are able to create a Virtual table without any issues. The command used is - ./IAAdmin.sh -user <username> -password <password> -host hostname -port port# -update -projectContent /pathtoXMLFile/XMLFiename.xml
Local fix
The filename should not have a ".". For example instead of customer.csv it should be renames as customer
