Which import option can be used to import metadata from a data modeling tool such as Erwin or Rational Data Architect?

  1. Import using bridges.

  2. Import a table definition using the Connector wizard.

  3. Import DataStage components.

  4. Import a table definition using the Plug-In Meta Data facility.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Bridges in DataStage are specifically designed translation mechanisms that allow importing metadata from external data modeling tools like Erwin and Rational Data Architect. The Connector wizard and Plug-In Meta Data facility are used for other types of imports, not for translating from external modeling tools.

AI explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the different import options available for importing metadata from a data modeling tool such as Erwin or Rational Data Architect. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Import using bridges - This option is correct because importing metadata from a data modeling tool can be done using bridges. Bridges are connectors that provide a seamless integration between different tools and platforms, allowing for the exchange of data and metadata.

Option B) Import a table definition using the Connector wizard - This option is incorrect because the Connector wizard is typically used for importing data from different sources, not for importing metadata from data modeling tools.

Option C) Import DataStage components - This option is incorrect because DataStage components are specific to IBM InfoSphere DataStage, a data integration tool, and not related to importing metadata from data modeling tools.

Option D) Import a table definition using the Plug-In Meta Data facility - This option is incorrect because the Plug-In Meta Data facility is a general term and does not specifically refer to importing metadata from data modeling tools.

The correct answer is A) Import using bridges. This option is correct because it allows for the import of metadata from data modeling tools like Erwin or Rational Data Architect using dedicated connectors or bridges.
