Symptoms

In Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) 12c, importing a Knowledge Module (KM) in "Synonym Mode INSERT" mode fails with the following error:

When selecting "Synonym Mode INSERT_UPDATE", the import is successful, but:

• It is always imported as a "global object", regardless of the project folder from where the import was attempted
• The resulting import report incorrectly shows that the imported KM is associated with a project folder even when attempting to import as global object.

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Login to ODI Studio
2. In Designer, go to a project and select "Knowledge Modules"
3. Right-click and select "Import Knowledge Modules"
4. Select "Synonym Mode INSERT" or "Synonym Mode INSERT_UPDATE"
   
   

In ODI 11g, only "Duplication" mode is available, and nothing else can be selected.
