IICS - populate TIMESTAMP_TZ column with generated value

Question

I am trying to populate TIMESTAMP_TZ column in Snowflake using the Informatica IICS from the Taskflow. In the taskflow I am using function fn:current-dateTime() which I am trying then in the mapping to convert to TIMESTAMP_TZ using the to_date() function but I am getting error

MAPPING> TE_7002 [2023-01-17 11:07:50.987] Transformation stopped due to a fatal error in the mapping.  The expression [To_Date($$inp_load_dttm)] contains the following errors [<<PM Parse Error>> [$$inp_load_dttm)]: Invalid date value string: >>>2023-01-17T16:06:58.019Z<<<.
... To_Date(>>>>$$inp_load_dttm<<<<)].

Answer 1

fn:current-dateTime() returns date (ref 1). to_date expects a string (ref 2). Here in this case you should not try to conver a date to date - it should simply work. If what you need is just the date, without the time, try using fn:current-date().
