Hi Rosalind, What is the RDBMS you use? If is Mysql, is it myisam engine?
Yes, if you choose not to use existing config, MC can import the source with all main and dm tables (you will need to choose the first level main when importing). There is another option to import exist 0.7 mart, that is to choose the Registry file option from the import source window, then pickup the 0.7 registry file. Hope this helps, let us know how it goes.

Hi, a couple of queries regarding biomart 0.8. I am looking at upgrading some existing biomart databases from 0.7 to 0.8 using rc5 I tried connecting to the data sources by RDBMS – Relational Mart and this worked fine for the first database but fails for the second with the following : java.lang.NullPointerException at org.biomart.configurator.controller.ObjectController.createMartFromBC_db(ObjectController.java:239) at org.biomart.configurator.controller.ObjectController.initMarts(ObjectController.java:152) at org.biomart.configurator.controller.ObjectController$1.construct(ObjectController.java:97) at org.biomart.common.view.gui.SwingWorker$2.run(SwingWorker.java:128) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:637) The second database contains 2 datasets & the configurator goes on to create the 2 datasets as data sources but it is not possible to create a config for the second datasource so it looks like this is causing the problem. Is there a way that I can isolate what this might be ? If I ignore the existing config & build from scratch for the second data set, the list of main tables is displayed & this will build a new config but does not locate any of the associated dm tables. Is there a way to build the dataset from scratch and automatically include the dm tables in the config?
