Cause

There is a Default data partition for the Call_Req table that references a default value for the "zreporting_method" field

Environment

Release : 17.3

Component : XFLOW INTERFACE FOR SDM

Resolution

Found that a default DP in the given user's Role configuration referenced the same zreporting_method field. Removing the default DP reference corrected the issue.

There is also a known defect which has been addressed in 17.3 RU2
