See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

1. Product: IGC
2. Associated PMR: TS001463797
3. Describe the requirement: Would like istool import asset values -cao option to be available in IGC UI
4. Use Case: APAR JR60264 addresses performance issue with custom attribute only updates in asset value CSV imports. To improve the performance of custom attribute only CSV asset value imports, the -cao option was added to istool import asset values. It was also be nice to achieve similar performance improvements by adding the option to the import Asset values dialog in the IGC UI.

    Thanks for your idea. As you may be aware, going forward IBM is marketing Watson Knowledge Catalog as the next generation Data Quality, Data Governance and Catalog solution and offering, integrating the capabilities of IMAM, IGC and IA with ability to preview, refine and consume data.

    Within WKC, the import experience has been improved - both the user experience and the underlying performance for scheduling and importing metadata.
