  • 1.  composition window not showing functional maps?

    I am perplexed with the 8.3.0.2's behavior in the composition window. Normally, it shows the functional maps that are called, however, after making some changes, I no longer have the "+" sign to drill down to the functional map level. I can still use the right click and "go to" functional map from the output cards, but I really want to be able to see the list from the composition window itself.

    Any one run into this issue or know of a setting that I may have mistakenly screwed up?

    BTW - This behavior is not consitent or against all maps. I am trying to narrow down how it happens...

    If it is a new functional map, sometimes you may need to save it, close it and re-open it. As far as I know, IBM has not got the window refresh bugs figured out. Similar to what you posted, the refresh can be very inconsistent.

    I have some new information. It seems that when you change the underlying type tree in an output card, the functional map calls are considered unresolved rules. I drag these to the new location in the new tree and compile the map and all is good. However, this is when you will never see them again in the composition window. In order to see then again, you can rename the functional map in the rule, and then the functional map itself and viola, it shows up again.

    Not pretty, certainly not what we would want to do, but until IBM fixes this bug, that is what works.
