Synonym Reverse Engineering

Question

Hello All,
Wish you all a Happy New Year.
I have two schemas by name
1) ABC
I have a table by name "Employee" in the "ABC" Schema.
2) DEF
I have created Synonym using the following command in the "DEF" Schema
Create public synonym STST_EMPLOYEE_TBL for ABC.EMPLOYEE.
When I reverse engineer the MODEL (by selecting SYNONYM check box) created using PHYSICAL/LOGICAL Schema of "DEF". It reverse engineers without any errors. But when you expand the Columns of the SYNONYM in the model, it does not show any COLUMNS at all.
Kindly let me know whether it is the limitation in ODI or my mistake.
Thanks

Hello Gurusank,
The table will be created in a different schema than that off a ODI user schema. Hence we thought of accessing the table by creating a SYNONYM of the table.
