A Data Migration Manager deployment for a specific view fails, and the target table definition shows no value set for the AUTO_GENERATED metadata on a particular column — other views with the same setup deploy fine. What's causing it?

Answer

This can happen when IFS generates the target table with the AUTO_GENERATED column left as NULL rather than explicitly TRUE/FALSE. Go into the Target Table Definition screen for that column and toggle the relevant checkbox off and back on (or just correct it if it looks unset) — re-setting it explicitly clears the deployment error even when nothing else about the view's setup differs from ones that already work.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
