How do I 'make' FM match source and target tables?

This hasn't been a problem until now.

 

The source and target both have a table called GLOBAL.  When I try and import into the Target Global FM shows a source of Members.  I manually select a Source of GLOBAL. It imports.  All is well..... until I run the import script again and then the Source reverts back to Members.  I can not get FM to use a matching Source and Target .... grrrrr !

 

Waz going on? ????  What is the 'trick'?

Here is something else that seems counter intuitive:

No matter how often I specify Matching Name Order instead of Last Order, FM insists on putting things in 'Last Order'.    When in 'Last Order' FM (for reasons not apparent to me) does not import  or match some fields like Desc_PM1 field.  But, when in Matching Names order, everything works.

 

So, how do I 'command' FM to put and keep things in Matching Name Order? 

 

Thank you.

Solution:

It appears that the Matching criteria is set from the script import step.  FM has no 'memory' on runtime.  Lesson learned.
