Guessing functionality is accessible when user wants to map fields from input module to fields in database table. The following issues detected during testing: 1. If all fields, came from input module, have different names Guess functionality doesn't work even if database fields are the same number. User must map every field one by one which can be hard for tables with many columns. Expected for this case is that guess functionality will map fields according their appearance in the list. I.e. first field from input to the first field in the table. This will speed up the process a lot. 2. Only one field from input has different name. |

It's a general bug in Pentaho's guessing behaviour and not specific to our plugin. To fix it we could either report the bug to Pentaho and hope they fix it for us or clone EnterMappingDialog.java and adjust it for our purposes. If we choose the clone option we might run into compatibility issues once Pentaho decides to change the API for EnterMappingDialog.java. Therefore, I would suggest to report it to Pentaho and close this issue. |
