IT13773: MAPS USING NESTED GLOBAL CACHE TRANSFORMS FAIL WITH UNRESOLVED CONNECTIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the Graphical Data Map Global Cache Transforms inside
  the nested Return of another transform, and/or including
  conditional If/Else within the Return the map can report
  unresolved connections after saving. Error markers such as the
  following will be shown on the Map in the Toolkit.
  
  The Cache Put input or output object $record2 could not be
  found. Test_LoadCache.map /CacheExample Map Problem
  
  In some conditions the map might not show an error marker, but
  will fail in the runtime with an error like the following:
  
  'IXJXE0797E: [ERR 0712][ERR XPST0008] No binding was found for
  the external variable 'record2'.
  

Local fix

• It might be possible to avoid some issues by reducing the level
  of nesting and/or replacing If/Else with a Custom XPath
  transform.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus who use the Mapping node with
  Global Cache transform contained in nested Return transforms.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows on x86-64 platform, Linux on x86-64 platform

Problem conclusion

• The Graphical Data Mapping editor is corrected so that Global
  Cache Transforms can be used in nested maps and will deploy and
  execute correctly.
