Currently, the MapTrace halts/stops after the first error is encountered. This makes debugging issues and correcting input data difficult, as only one error can be fixed at a time, then the file needs to be re-run to check if there are any other f...

automapper should also work with same input/output types

It is a common pattern to work twice on a output card, e.g.:- when the output should also include summarized amounts of several output records that need to be built/calculated first- when the header should announce how many records will follow Now...

Autmoapper from output to output

The automapper is very useful, but only does input to output. In some cases, we need to prepare mapping in one output card, and enrich it later in a following output card. Currently, it can be done but needs some cards copy and moving, and this wo...

DEVOPS deployment to LINUX servers

Devops has been around for a while, with automated testing and deployment. WTX should provide tool to auto deploy (similar to map build). This would take the PC tested map and allow it to be deployed to a server for further testing in a LINUX envi...

Add JDBC importer to Design Studio(Eclipse) or Database interface Designer

The only way to import a typetree for JDBC adapter, is to call an external java command line com.hcl.hip.tools.adapterdriver.TreeImporter for the adapter com.hcl.hip.adapters.m4jdbc. This is not a user friendly solution.

Enhancement for R11 and R41 rules

Rule Type 11 is checking subelement values, but doesn’t return the bad value if no match. We wanted to populate the bad value as Data Content in Tack.html. As of now, there are no rules that could be used in this case. We need an enhancement for t...

Handling XML data Using WTX map

We have a WTX translation map from xml to Legacy format. The source xml type tree has been created with the XSD schema. Currently the map was working fine with the xml data because it is matching with type tree structure. However the client is say...

WTX should not crash when a resource value is too large.
