There are a couple of key guidelines you must follow in order to obtain the results you expect.
- Important: All target fields must be mapped
If all the target fields are not mapped, then the target record will not be written. This can be accomplished through explicit source to target mapping or with the INITIALIZE command.
The Parser will inform you of which target fields are not mapped, indicated by a return code of 4 upon completion of the Parser.
- Datastore fields must be fully qualified if you have:
- Multiple record types/descriptions in a source datastore with the same field names
- Multiple target datastores that contains fields with the same names.
- Qualifying datastore fields is explained in more detail in the following sections.
