This happens in 4.9, does not happen in 4.6.  This occurs and then the process continues and completes as if it was successful, but there are tables it is meant to process after this error is thrown.  I have attached log files from two jobs.

Please advise.

Environment

Release : 4.9

Component : CA Test Data Manager

Resolution

This is addressed in FastDataMasker-4.9.104.0. If you are seeing similar results, and running an older release of FDM, please open a support case and request a copy of the FastDataMasker-4.9.104.0 or greater release.
