Issue: Target data is being over written with NULL values in TIBCO Scribe® Online
Issue/Introduction
Workaround to prevent target data from being overwritten with NULL values in TIBCO Scribe® Online
Resolution
TIBCO Scribe® Online defaults to overwriting target data with NULL values.

It passes them right to the target connector. Standard design in Scribe connectors is to pass the NULL to the target API call without making any changes.
To get the opposite behavior in Scribe Online, to avoid overwriting the target with NULLS, requires the implementation of some block logic in the map (e.g. using the IF Block).
