Hi,

I am getting quite few warnings, when i run my job.

All warnings are of the same nature and says:

"When checking operator, Defaulting <fieldname> in transfer from "inrec" to "outrec" ."

The log says that this occurs at a particular Funnel stage. But the funnel doesnt have the mentioned fields in it.

Can anyone help me out by letting me know what this warning means and how i can get rid of this.

This is of utmost importance, as we have set a warning limit for this job.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Thebird.

Hello thebird,

these warning are caused by you having runtime column propagation turned on for the job & the stage. Go to the predecessor stages of the funnel and in the output links of those stages unclick the column propagation attribute.

Yup.

And it means that MetaStage can't do accurate lineage analysis or where used analysis.

I counsel against using RCP mainly for this reason. Remember, too, that "they" will be coercing you to use MetaStage for all reporting, by deprecating/removing alternatives.

Keep in mind that RCP was initially created in the Orchestrate days as a method of not having to retype all of the schemas for all of the operators (since everything was in a shell script). It is there for backward compatibility (and it can't just be ripped out of the framework either). It can be useful, but you have to remember that it is on when you are developing--like you have seen, it can produce some undesirable results! BTW, who is "they"?

"They" are the good folks who manufacture the product.
