    Description

      I have a view model with UDF function defined as procedure and a table that uses this UDF procedure. Transformation SQL looks like this:

      SELECT
      		udfConcatNull(hsqldbParts.PARTS.PART_NAME, hsqldbParts.PARTS.PART_WEIGHT) AS NAME_WEIGHT
      	FROM
      		hsqldbParts.PARTS
      

      When I hit Preview Data on that table, the dynamic VDB that is generated looks like this:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
      <vdb name="PREVIEW-fd6cadf2-4ae3-4d8f-9420-22f4882201e7" version="1">
      	<description>Importer VDB</description>
      	<property name="UseConnectorMetadata" value="true" />
      	<property name="deployment-name" value="PREVIEW-fd6cadf2-4ae3-4d8f-9420-22f4882201e7-vdb.xml" />
      	<model name="view" type="VIRTUAL" visible="true">
      		<metadata type="DDL"><![CDATA[
      CREATE VIEW tab (
      	NAME_WEIGHT string
      ) 
      AS
      	select udfConcatNull(hsqldbParts.PARTS.PART_NAME,hsqldbParts.PARTS.PART_WEIGHT) as NAME_WEIGHT from hsqldbParts.PARTS;
      ]]></metadata>
      	</model>
      	<model name="hsqldbParts" type="PHYSICAL" visible="true">
      		<source name="hsqldbParts" translator-name="oracle" connection-jndi-name="null" />
      		<metadata type="DDL"><![CDATA[
      CREATE FOREIGN TABLE PARTS (
      	PART_ID string(4) NOT NULL OPTIONS(NAMEINSOURCE '"PART_ID"', NATIVE_TYPE 'CHAR', FIXED_LENGTH 'TRUE'),
      	PART_NAME string(255) OPTIONS(NAMEINSOURCE '"PART_NAME"', NATIVE_TYPE 'VARCHAR2'),
      	PART_COLOR string(30) OPTIONS(NAMEINSOURCE '"PART_COLOR"', NATIVE_TYPE 'VARCHAR2'),
      	PART_WEIGHT string(255) OPTIONS(NAMEINSOURCE '"PART_WEIGHT"', NATIVE_TYPE 'VARCHAR2'),
      	CONSTRAINT PK_PARTS PRIMARY KEY(PART_ID)
      ) OPTIONS(NAMEINSOURCE '"PARTSSUPPLIER"."PARTS"')
      ]]></metadata>
      	</model>
      </vdb>
      

      If I see correctly, the UDF procedure is not in the dynamic VDB.
      I know that the situation about dynamic VDBs and UDF functions in JAR files is complicated and I am not sure right now how this should be resolved.

      But in my opinion the udf procedure should be in the dynamic VDB and there should be a warning that TD won't deploy the JAR to the server and if user wants to make a preview, the JAR should be deployed to the server manually. (If I remember correctly there is one when user is trying to generate dynamic VDB from static VDB with UDF function)
