ERROR Cannot create target (optional) element - SUPPRESS value

[Former Member]

HI, XI/PI experts!

I am new in PI 7.1 (Ehp1 SP 7), previously work with PI 7.0.

I faced with problem of mapping optional target element, when queue has just SUPPRESS element. I expected to suppressing mapping of the target element, but mapping program raise exception:

Cannot create target element 
/ns0:Messages/ns0:Message1/MT_DiadocMethods/ConnectInfo/TraceInfo/Folder. 
Values missing in queue context. 
Target XSD requires a value for this element, but the target-field mapping does not create one. 
Check whether the XML instance is valid for the source XSD, 
and whether the target-field mapping fulfils the requirement of the target XSD

XSD Folder declaration:

<xsd:element name="Folder" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0">
            <xsd:annotation>
               <xsd:documentation>
               u043Au0430u0442u0430u043Bu043Eu0433 u0434u043Bu044F u0442u0440u0430u0441u0438u0440u043Eu0432u043Au0438 u0447u0435u0440u0435u0437 u0444u0430u0439u043Bu044B
               </xsd:documentation>
            </xsd:annotation>
         </xsd:element>

If put mapWithDeffault with value "hello" between ifWithoutElse and target element Folder, then exceptions not raised, but target element also not created

<Display Queue> show that queue after mapWithDeffault has <null> value:

Inserting mapWithDeffault is workaround for this situation, but I am interesting to understand principle of SUPPRESS in 7.1

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English !
