Hello,

I am new to Clover ETL. I am trying to import metadata from a table.  
On the ‘Select Metadata to Import’ tab, I selected the table and validated it.  
On clicking next, I am getting the below error. Not sure what is the issue.

**“Metadata extraction failed: [IBM][DB2 JDBC Driver]Object has been closed”**

Thanks

Hi jlakshm,

Could you please provide us with further details?

1. Are you using DB connection in another components? Does it work? Can it be validated?  
2. SQL query you use  
3. create statement for table you access  
4. whole stacktrace of this problem - You should find it in Designer’s error log: “Window → Show View → Other… → General → Error Log”

Thank you!
