[Solved] Error with master file when creating a chart

Hello,

I'm pulling data from Metadata. I then save the data to a hold file. (On table Hold As MD)

From there I try creating a chart. I select the MD as the Master File. I then get an error saying: Code: 1108 Type: xFDMinit Error with master file: MD.

I already decreased the name length of my master file to only 2 letters.

If I create a chart from the Metadata it will create fine however I need to join two metadata together to get the result set I'm looking for.

Thanks

On table Hold As MD

1) Verify the the MD synonym is not in your path using the WHENCE command to determine that before you run your fex.

2) Try ON TABLE HOLD AS MYMASTER FORMAT FOCUS INDEX (1st Sort Value). Where MYMASTER is a name of your choice.

Try holding your file with the following then select MD file to create a chart
ON TABLE HOLD AS MD FORMAT FOCUS

When you do not specify the file format no MFD is created and chart designer is looking for a MFD

I did the WHENCE and it was showing only one MD in a different location. So I added APP Hold metricsdash to put the hold tables into the correct folder.

I added the Index and that didn't help.

I did have it as ON TABLE HOLD MD FORMAT FOCUS however it was getting the error so had removed the Format Focus portion.
Readded and still getting same error.

I found a case that this is a known issue in WF 8.1.04 and is resolved in 8.1.05 and higher.

Thank you.

I figured out I can create a SQL Chart rather than even using metadata/hold files.

We will be upgrading to 8.2 newest release in the next month or two.
