Information Steward View - output Schema

[Former Member]

Is there a way to default the failed data headers to use the description of the column instead of the column (or field) name of the table?

There is a way to manually key the column name when creating the view, but is there a way to default a view to using the Column Description automatically instead of keying all of the descriptions manually? 

PS - I realize that there could be truncation issues and truncation is ok.

Jamie,

If I understand your question correctly, I can see two options:

1.  Create a DI View and rename the columns and descriptions as you want.  Then bind the rules to the DI view rather than the raw table.  You could do the same with a DB object (view, Mat View) however a DI view has less moving parts.

2.  Build a custom report that links the failed rules database and either manually change each column or link to integrator details in Metadata Management and use that to display the names.

You could also raise an idea on the ideas space, however I'm not sure when it might be addressed by SAP.
