Problem deploying certain mappings using OMBPlus

Question

We've got a problem deploying certain mapings using OMBPLus. This applies to all mappings that use a function to lookup the effective date of a SCD (type 2) from a lookup table. We use that function in the dimension operator properties as the "Default Effective Time of Open Record". Though the validation of those mappings fails they can nevertheless be deployed using the Control Center Manager. And, best of all, they work fine.
Now we have to deploy those mappings using OMBPlus because we're not allowed to work with tools on the preproduction and production systems. Deploying those mappings with OMBPlus doesn't seem to work. It works fine for all other mappings but not for those mentioned above. Has anybody a solution?

Hi Dave,
this is the error message I get whe I run my OMBPLus script:
OMB05602: An unknown Deployment error has occured for Object Type PUB03205 : Validation Error: MAP_DIM_FAHRZEUGKLASSE : VLD-5010: The Default Effective Date of open records for dimension DIM_FAHRZEUGKLASSE should be an expression of type DATE. Value "FCT_GET_AKT_LL_vmon()" is not a valid date: PLS-00201: identifier 'FCT_GET_AKT_LL_VMON' must be declared
I'm not quite sure about what you mean with creating a stub function. As you can see from the error message above I use a function called FCT_GET_AKT_LL_vmon that returns the actual date od the load from a lookup table. This function is of course present in the target schema.
