Troubleshooting
Problem
The IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender (WTX) Design Studio Automapper feature will appear to fail to create the child elements if the type tree resource for the input and output cards are the same.
Symptom
A single Automapper rule at the parent or group level is created instead of the expected multiple rules at the child level.
Cause
The product is working as designed. If the automap tools finds the input and output objects are the same type (defined as types coming from the same type tree and having the same type path) then it will map them directly and it will not try to automap their child components.
Environment
WTX Eclipse based Design Studio on Windows
Resolving The Problem
If both input and output cards need the same type tree resource, then a copy of the type tree resource should be used with the Automapper. After the Automapper has completed the automapping, the input and output cards can be changed to use the same type tree before saving and compiling the map.
