JR32860: EXPORT/IMPORT FROM IS MANAGER .ISX FILE , ISTOOL or DSXIMPORTSERVICE REQUIRES RECOMPILE BEFORE JOB CAN RUN SUCCESSFULLY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Export/Import from IS Manager or istool .isx file requires
  recompile  before job can run successfully after import. The
  .isx file contains runtime data but the job fails until it is
  recompiled.
  
  Problem also shows using DSXImportService.sh or
  DSXImportService.bat to import .dsx files which contain job
  runtime.
  

Local fix

• Workaround is to recompile the job. Alternatively for a dsx
  fileand  DSXImportService, use the Designer import function
      instead.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of Information Server Manager export / import facilities,
  istool commandline tool and DSXImportService commandline tool
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Certain jobs imported with their runtime using the Information
  Server Manager or the istool and DSXImportService commandline
  tools give internal errors when run. The errors are resolved if
  the job is recompiled.
  
  It is difficult to anticipate the errors reported, but so far
  we have seen errors like "Parameter not resolvable:
  DSCAPIOP_...". Not all job runtime will be affected; this
  example is seen only when dscapiop / API stages are used in a
  parallel job.
  
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Apply the patch to resolve the problem. Refer to readme file for
  required locations - client, server & domain. Re-export any
  istool or Information Server Manager files.
  
  This fix is included in 8.1 FP1.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Resolved by correcting internal separator (mark character)
  handling in the Java infrastructure used by the affected
  components : export and import from istool and Information
  Server Manager, and import using DSXImportService.
  
  Customers experiencing this problem with information server
  manager or istool export files will have to re-export the
  affected components after applying the patch. DSX files which
  came from Designer GUI or similar components should not need
  re-exporting.
