BIOVIA Direct: importSDfile utility imports data for unmapped fields

BIOVIA Direct users who use the importSDfile utility will find that it imports data for unmapped fields too. Consider, for example, an sdfile that includes data for fields such as Chemistry, StructureID, Project, Melting_Point, and Boiling_Point. The user does the mapping for only Chemistry, StructureID, and Project fields for import, and leave out Melting_Point, and Boiling_Point. Suppose the relevant table in Oracle database contains fields with the same names Melting_Point and Boiling_Point, the user will find after the import that the data for Melting_Point and Boiling_Point also went into the Oracle table even though these fields were not included in the mapping file.  

BIOVIA Direct product team is aware of this issue, and the Developer is currently looking into this issue and planning to fix this problem in a future release of the Direct Cartridge. In the meantime, users are advised to review the sdfile fields and also their Oracle table definition carefully for matching column names, and make the necessary changes to avoid this problem during import.
