RCP with different nullabillty

Dear all,

in a parallel job we load data e.g. from an oracle table T1 to table T2. A few colums are defined in the stages but we have extra columns that will be adopted and propagated because we use runtime column propagation.
For example C1 is such a extra column, propagated only at runtime.
C1 exists in both tables, but has different settings regarding the NULL constraint in the database. T1 allows NULL for C1 for T2 column C1 has a NOT NULL constraint. We definitly want to avoid changing these constraints.

Different approaches to handle this constellation (for example with a transformer stage and a reject link) could not avoid the fatal error that is thrown. (see also PMR 62607,035,724)
Since it is a fatal error, the message handler cannot downgrade it to "informational".

Our enhancement request is, that this situation is handled without producing an fatal error.

Regards

Josef Mirkhel
