Cause

Something wrong with the data type when extracting data from SAP ERP。

Resolution

To fix the issue, we have introduced a new property "InitialValueMode".

By default the value of this property is "InitialValueMode=Null", to make it work, please add "InitialValueMode= InitialValue" to the Extra Connection Arguments in the ERP connector.

And please update the On-Premise Extractor to the latest version if you are using On-Premise Extractor.
