IT20942: MAPPING MANDATORY ELEMENT IN OPTIONAL SEQUENCE CAN BE INVALID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When mapping from mandatory input XML element (minOccurs=1) to a
  mandatory output XML element (minOcccurs=1) which is a member
  of an XML schema "sequence" or "all" grouping that is marked as
  optional (minOccurs=0) and the input element is not present
  (missing or for the IIB product set to NULL) the output element
  will not be created, causing the output XML document to be
  invalid against it's XML schema.
  

Local fix

• Ensure input element is always present, or add explicit if/else
  logic in the mapping
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V10.0 who use the Mapping node
  with Graphical Data Maps that move a mandatory input element to
  a mandatory output element that is a member of an optional
  sequence or all group
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When mapping from mandatory input element (minOccurs=1) to a
  mandatory output XML element (minOcccurs=1) which is a member
  of an XML schema "sequence" or "all" grouping that is marked as
  optional (minOccurs=0) and the input element is not present, XML
  element missing or none XML, eg DFDL, element set NULL the
  output element will not be created, causing the output XML
  document to be invalid against it's XML schema.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Mapping node is corrected so that in the defined case the
  element will now be created as empty or nilled in accordance
  with the schema meaning the output document is valid.
