MapTrace should be written to memory

Currently, there is no equivalent to the SI Map Translation Report when ITX maps are handled.

The MapTrace provides similar information in that it can be used to determine the cause for failure, however it is currently only possible to generated the MapTrace in File, rather than Memory, meaning it;s not accessible in ProcessData.

This should be added, so that the MapTrace is available in ProcessData and can be used in OnFault processing etc and to generate email notifications.

How will this idea be used?

The MapTrace would be enabled in Memory, so that the MapTrace is available in ProcessData

    Hi Sarah,


    Changes are made to the ITX reporting in the next release coming this year. We will setup a call to discuss.


    Thanks,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. I truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations and ideas.

    I need a little more information to understand your idea. Can you tell us how big your typical MapTrace file is? A concern we have is potentially running into OOM issues if we generate in memory. Writing this to ProcessData might crash the JVM as a result.


    An alternate approach would be to create a custom BP leveraging the file system adapter that can read the MapTrace from the file system in order to invoke the OnFault processing and perform actions based on error conditions.

ITX Map Trace on B2Bi ProcessData

Merged
Currently ITX maps allow storing the Map Trace during the translation in physical location only. Similar to B2Bi Sterling Map status reports, we will require the trace available on ProcessData for error reporting purpose. This can be only the high...
