AWS Blu Age - L3 Workshop (Transform output folder structure not creating properly)

The issue you're experiencing with the folder structure not being created properly during the AWS Blu Age L3 Workshop's Adhoc Modification section is likely related to the transformation configuration or the specific files included in your project.

To address this problem, consider the following steps:

1. Review your transformation configuration: Ensure that all necessary file types and components are included in your transformation settings. The missing folders (bms, csd commands, jcl, listcat) suggest that certain file types might not be selected for transformation.

2. Check your source files: Verify that your project includes the appropriate source files for all the expected output types. If certain file types are missing from your input, the corresponding output folders won't be created.

3. Examine the Transform step parameters: Make sure you've selected all required dependencies and actions in the Transform run configuration. Double-check that you're using the correct version (3.2.0 or 4.2.0, depending on your workshop version) and that all necessary options are enabled.

4. File encoding: If you're experiencing issues with file processing, it might be related to file encoding. Try adding a new Metadata section in the Transform step with the following details:

   • Type: File
   • Name: */
   • Properties: Select 'encoding' property
   • Order: Move it to last
   • Update property value to 'UTF-8' (ensure you include the hyphen)

5. Clean and retry: If possible, try cleaning your project and rerunning the transformation process. Sometimes, clearing cached data and starting fresh can resolve unexpected behavior.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to consult the specific workshop documentation or reach out to AWS Blu Age support for further assistance. They might be able to provide more targeted guidance based on the exact version and configuration of the workshop you're working with.
