Parquet Files with 0 records not generating masked files

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

We have observed that the files with 0 records are not generating masked files.

Ideally we are expecting that even there is no data there should be a masked file created as the expectation is that no. of files in folder before masking should be equal to no. of files in folders after masking.

Else its difficult to debug the mismatch in files count whether it due to 0 records or other issues.

Environment

All supported TDM releases.

Cause

Working by design.

Resolution

FDM does not write out masked files with zero records.  

Additional Information

This is for any zero record file types.
