CASE transform missing default flow

I have an issue with my designer. I could not find anyone else with this issue (especially since the search engine ignored the word CASE).

There is an existing dataflow with a CASE transform and two output branches - unknown and default. I set up the transform to send all records to default and only the ones matching the case logic to unknown. Everything seems to work fine until I try to open the CASE transform. The default checkbox unchecks itself and will not persist once I close it. If I go to the layout, the line that used to be the default branch is now gone and the only option I have when I try to put it back is unknown. I can go in and recheck the default box, even rename the default to something else, all to no avail. This happens with any CASE transform I try to open. I can create a new CASE transform and get the default branch but it always goes away if I open the CASE transform.

Anyone have any ideas or does this appear to be a bug? I am on version 11.7.2.2 of the designer.

Sounds like a bug to me, but I am on 11.5 and can’t test it for you, sorry.

It is a bug - ADAPT00784399.

Steps to duplicate.

  1. open the job in the project area
  2. select the case transform to display the mapping
  3. go to tool options tool - options - designer - general and tick Single window in workspace -->all the windows are closed
  4. check the DF and see that the mapping Default output has disappeared

The resolution for ADAPT00784399 indicated that it wasn’t fixed in the 11.7 codebase. So, upgrading to a newer version of 11.7.x.x won’t help. It was fixed in the newer version of the product called Data Services.

Bottomline - you have to use Multiple Windows or the CASE transform is buggy. We’ll just workaround the issue until we upgrade to Data Services.

I’m getting this issue now and I’ve already got the multiple windows option set. (11.7.2)

In my case its there when I open the dataflow but if go into the case transform it then loses the default option.

Is it definitely the case that this isn’t fixed in 11.7.x.x

I found you also have to check “Show tabs in workspace”. Hopefully this works for you.
