JR42653: In Inf. Server 8.5, SCD stage column mappings are corrupted when input columns are added between existing columns.

IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5 Fix Pack 3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On the parallel canvas in Inf. Server 8.5, column mappings in
  the Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) Stage  are
  corrupted when input columns are added between existing columns.
  

Local fix

• Workaround:
  Drop the new column on the white spaces in the output window
  instead of between two columns.
  

Problem summary

• On the parallel canvas in Information Server 8.5, output column
  mappings are corrupted when input columns are inserted between
  existing output columns.
  

Problem conclusion

• The actual issue is caused by column index mapping.  When input
  column(s) is inserted into the output columns list between two
  columns the column index is changed for the columns after the
  newly inserted column(s).  If the index is still used for column
  lookup then it causes error.
  

Temporary fix
