PM55541: GENERATING AN AUTO-NUMERIC MODEL WITH CALCULATE STANDARD ERROR OPTION TURNED ON WILL DISPLAY AN INTERNAL ERROR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the Auto Numeric modeling node with Modeler 14.1 FP2
  AND 14.2 FP2 and the 'Calculate standard error' option from
  Settings > Ensemble Settings is TURNED OFF, Modeler will
  generate the following:
  "Internal Error: Stream has no export nodes (xx)"
  
  * where (xx) equals a number.
  
  Modeler will then continue to display the Execution Feedback
  dialog window and the end-user will have to click on 'Stop
  Execution' TWICE in order to close it.
  If you run the same node again, it will fail with the following
  message:
  "Server Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"
  
  If you turn 'Calculate standard error' option ON, the stream is
  executed without any messages.
  

Local fix

• Current workaround is to DESELECT this option in the modeling
  node to successfully build the model.
  End-user can then select to display this data from the MODEL
  NUGGET.
