FDM does not display available table or columns when loading a Parquet file.

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

When connecting to a Parquet file, the FDM UI doesn't display the tables or columns available for masking.

Environment

FDM 4.10.268.0 or greater

Cause

The filename of the parquet file, is 90 characters in length. The Windows operating system limits the File Path + File Name (combined) to not exceed 256 characters. 

Resolution

Renaming the parquet file to use a shorter name resolved the issue.

Note: another option would be to use a shorter file path.
