Error description

  • Data Manager: blank space value incorrectly triggers type 2 SCD
    update??When using a blank space (e.g ' ') as a source value for
    an attribute with type 2 tracking, a new record is incorrectly
    generated for this record. Test case is attached. Import the
    Type2_problem.pkg file, attach the data source to a table and
    run the Type2_problem dim build twice without making changes to
    the source data. You will see an type 2 update for each record
    on the second execution.??This issue doesn't happen with an
    empty value (e.g. '')
