JR39983: MAPPINGEXCEPTION IS THROWN DURING THE SAVE OF A FASTTRACK GENERATED JOB DESIGN AFTER APPLYING PATCH JR39833

IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5 Fix Pack 2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The patch JR39833 addressed a problem with changes to column
  order in a Transformer stage not being saved correctly.
  While it did fix this problem the change had the side-effects of
  including more objects in the change set that were strictly
  necessary and in some cases saving a collection of objects in a
  different order.
  
  The FastTrack job save resulted in a MappingException as a
  result of the collection of JobObjects not being in the expected
  order.
