000-349 Question #47: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Options

• AThe map terminated without executing any mapping rules.
• BThe RESTART attribute was applied to one or more of the data objects in the input type tree.
• CAn audit log was generated with information about the data in error.
• DMapping rules were executed up to the point where the invalid data was encountered in the
• EInput validation ended at the point where the invalid data was encountered.

Explanation

When a WTX/Sterling map completes with the message 'input type contains errors,' the RESTART attribute is always the cause, because RESTART is the specific mechanism that instructs the map engine to continue past input validation failures instead of halting.

Common mistakes.

• A. This is not always true because the RESTART attribute is specifically designed to allow the map to continue executing mapping rules past the point of invalid data, meaning rules can and often do execute before or around the error.
• C. Audit log generation depends on separate audit configuration settings that are not automatically enabled, so an audit log is not guaranteed to exist every time this completion message appears.
• D. With RESTART active, the map does not simply stop at the first invalid data encounter - RESTART causes the engine to skip or handle the invalid object and continue processing remaining records.
• E. Input validation with RESTART does not end at the invalid data point - the RESTART attribute's purpose is precisely to allow validation and processing to continue past errors rather than stopping there.
