ODI 12c Scenario Generates Successfully Even Though the Package Contains an Invalid Variable (Doc ID 2508161.1)

Last updated on JUNE 16, 2022

Applies to:

Oracle Data Integrator - Version 12.2.1.2.6 to 12.2.1.3.2 [Release 12c]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

In Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) 12c, a Scenario can be generated successfully from a Package, even though the Package references Variables that do not exist.

In such a case, the Scenario generation should fail.

To reproduce the behavior the following can be used:

  1. In ODI Studio, create a global Variable.
    Create a Mapping that uses the Variable, and a Package that uses the Mapping. 
  2. Export the Package.
  3. In ODI Studio, delete the Package, the Mapping and the Variable.
  4. Import the Package using synonym INSERT_UPDATE mode.
  5. Open / edit the Package, and observe the message indicating that it contains an invalid object -- which is correct.
  6. Generate a Scenario for the Package, and observe that there is no error or warning signaled -- which is incorrect.
