Parallel Aggregator Stage "Preserve Type"

Post by ray.wurlod »

Introduced in version 8.1, Preserve Type property is mutually exclusive with Sum Output Column property at the field level. This should be picked up by the stage GUI or the precompiler. (This is my enhancement request.)

It isn't picked up, and that that leads to a rapid job abort at run time with a message of the form

The fact that each word of the error message after the first colon becomes a separate Fatal log event could probably be tidied up also.
