import geoset into map manager

[ofer.g]

hey there
when ever i try to import a geoset in to map manager it gives me an error saying due to missing labels for geoset name or layer name/
does anybody know what's wrong?
possibly some thing from mapinfo...

Importing and using external maps in Cognos is not very well documented, and Cognos is very picky about the incoming map format. I pasted this from the Map Manager help file under "Import a Map from a Non IBM Source".

    The MapInfo tab files must be referenced by *.gst files.
    Map objects (regions and points) must have an identifier. The identifier must be in the first column of the associated MapInfo table and must be non-numeric.
    If aliases are defined for the identifiers, they must be in any column except the first column.

Does anything there apply? I have not done this in a while, but if that does not help I will try to dig up any notes I have about the export/import processes.
