Which finding, if confirmed during troubleshooting, points to the transformation component itself rather than the COBOL source?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You can tell the component itself is at fault when the transformation service reports itself unhealthy or unreachable when the job is submitted. Component status is its own category, and a bad component looks nothing like a bad input.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is the finding that the transformation service reports itself as unhealthy or unreachable when the job is submitted. Component status is checked separately precisely because an unhealthy or unreachable service produces failures that have nothing to do with the source; that is the finding that points at the platform rather than the code.
The finding that the source file uses a language construct the transformation tool does not support is incorrect because an unsupported construct is a source-related finding, not a component finding.
The finding that the input file is missing a required section that other jobs also depend on is incorrect because a missing required section is an input problem, not a component problem.
The finding that the job references a copybook that has since been renamed is incorrect because a renamed copybook is a dependency issue tied to the source, not the component running the transformation.
For the exam, keep the four categories - inputs, dependencies, unsupported constructs, component status - distinct, since each points to a different fix.
