Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When reverse engineering a text file with column headings in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) 12.2.1.3, the following error is reported in a popup:

ODI-15116: There is not enough data in the target file to proceed with the reverse-engineering. Please make sure the file has at least one non-empty line and number of rows to skip is correct.

The studio.log shows an out-of-range error:

[2018-05-25T09:25:01.917+02:00] [odi] [ERROR] [] [oracle.odi.core.persistence] [tid: <TID>] [ecid: <ECID>] java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1[[
  at java.lang.String.(String.java:196)

When the text file has the column heading row removed, the reverse engineering works.
