Congratulations! You found a bug in the documentation! You cannot use NullToZero in a modify stage. This function only exists in a Transformer. Yes, they give this specific example in the documentation and Yes, it is wrong. The syntax for modify would be: fieldname = handle_null(fieldname, 0) Hope t...

Hi all,

actually for the modify Operator/Stage You can supress warnings. Just add another "Specification=nowarn" to the stage. That should supress warnings. However, one would have to look in the "Orchestrate OEM Docs" to find this option...
