    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Optional empty elements may be present in the Mapping node's
    Move transform output. This can happen when using the XMLNS

    optional and the required output element has an optional parent
    element.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Optional elements are removed from the output. To revert to the
    old behaviour before this change, the environment variable
    GDM_MAP_OUTPUT_NULL_FOR_MISSING_INPUT has to be set to any value
