PM52287: UNABLE TO ENABLE UPDATE ON NON-KEY DIMENSION COLUMNS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Data Manager 10 and 10.1.1, the UI does not allow a user to
  enable Update on a non-key Dimension column.  The behavior being
  observed contradicts the product documentation and the behavior
  in earlier releases.  The quote below from the documentation
  implies that you can update Dimension items, as long as they are
  not identified as a key column:??"By default, when Data Manager
  performs an update, it updates all columns in the target table,
  with the exception of any columns identified as key columns.
  You cannot select a column that is identified as the key. If you
  need to update it, you must clear the Key column check box
  first."
