missing expression error while running ODI Interface.


Scenario:
Sometimes when ODI interface is run, we may encounter an error like below

Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00936: missing expression

at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:462)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:405)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4C8Oall.processError(T4C8Oall.java:931)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIfun.receive(T4CTTIfun.java:481)


If we check the code, it generates a code like below

 select 1 from APPS.MTH_ORGANIZATIONS_L T
where  
and ((T.ORGANIZATION_NAME = S.ORGANIZATION_NAME) )

here after WHERE there should have been (1=1) followed by AND condition.

Reason:
This occurs if none of the target columns have been defined as a key.

Solution:
Make one of the columns in the target table as Key by check the box. Now run the interface again. It should solve the issue.
