Question on report creation with external import

Community Alums
Not applicable

Hi, 

I tried to create a report with External Import as the data source. I am good with the first file import for a report, but when I tried to create another report with a second file import, I got below error: A table with this name already exists. Please choose a different name. I tried other names, still got the error. Only solution is to remove the imported  file from sys_report_import_table. Please let me know how to resolve this error. Thanks.

Hi @Community Alums 

 

I tried the steps in PDI and at 2nd time also it works fine for me. Try cache.do and try again. Is it PDI or client instance?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it works fine in my PDI, but not in my company instance. Might be some setting controlling it.

Yes look like, possible to repair the report plugin , if did not work, log a Now support case.
