Are you your DataMigrator is Release 7.2.8?

In any event you need to specify an ALIAS=columnname with the actual name of the column in the RDBMS.

That's what the error message means by "real column name is empty."

Thanks Clif,

Howabout actual size, It should be same as usage?. it also gives me error of size. When I provide same size and real name. it allows me to create synonym.

It's not clear what you are trying to do here.

CREATE SYNONYM creates a synonym from a relational table. CREATE FILE creates a database table from the synonym.

If there have been new columns added to a relational database table you can update the synonym from the DMC or WC you can right click on the synonym name select Refresh and it will add the new columns. Or for more control over what information is kept from the synonym or obtained from the database from the app dir you can use New, Synonym (create or update) and then select Update.

If you edit the synonym in the synonym editor it will warn you, but if you use a text editor then you must ensure the ACTUAL and USAGE are compatible.

I am not creating synonyms from database table.

Instead, we have ready synonyms, that is creating .csv file to target. so I am adding one more column to master file, that will generate .csv target file.
Thanks

Cliff,

Your last quote, helped. Thanks
