PM01460: MAPPING EDITOR ALLOWS INVALID MAPPINGS AND CAUSES BIZARRE EMPTY ERROR MESSAGES DURING GENERATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In mapping editor it is possible to drag multiple connections
  from the Move box to various targets.  This behavior is
  inconsistent with design and documentation and creates false
  impression with the user that many bizarre mappings are
  possible.
  Mapping editor should only allow one-to-one mapping according to
  the mapping design
  ************
  
  Recreate Steps
  ----------------------------
  
  1. Import attached prj interchange
  2. Open the Response mapping file
  3. Observe the bizarre mappings that the editor allowed to
  create
  4. Select Generate IMS SOAP Gateway resources
  
   Expected result: Invalid mappings should  not be allowed in the
  first place.
  Actual results: Invalid Mappings are allowed, are allowed to be
  saved, and at gen time an empty error message is generated (see
  attached screen shot)
  
  The error log has an unhandleed generation error but generation
  should not even be allowed (See the Expected results above)
