I’m new to BODS and we have recently upgraded to BODS 4.1 version from 3.2 and we are facing an issue while validating one of the query transform. In that query transform, we have used a condition like ‘Query.FISCAL_YEAR in (‘2013’, ‘2014’)’ and in the following query transform ‘Actuals_GrpBy’, we have used GroupBy functionality. This didn’t cause any error in 3.2 version. I couldn’t understand the fact that even though we removed the year filter in the previous transform, while validating we can still view the error. The exact error message is:
Looks like Actuals_GrpBy Query Transform has something flawed or something got erased or something. Your screenshot doesn’t show the exhaustive column list of that last query transform. You will have to further look into that transform further.
For some reason, the error didn’t show off today, I just reopened the last transform and checked whether fields are correctly mapped. Then closed it re-validated, guess what the error didn’t show up. I can’t understand this strange behaviour in the BODS designer (4.1v).
Anyways, I don’t see the issue anymore. Once again, I appreciate all your suggestions & efforts.
Very old post. But I still have encountered this today for even at 4.2 version.
When we change the source table on an existing query, for some reason, the old source table definition is still embedded in the query. -thus the error.
On my side, this has been resolved by simply clicking on the FROM tab in the query, then save. This somehow refreshed the source table info in the query
