APAR status

Error description

Local fix

Problem summary

• Select import assets dialog fails to recognize checkbox
  (boolean) import
    parameter values
  
  
  
    Certain connectors or bridges which provide the option to
  browse and select
    assets for import do not send correct values for checkbox
  (boolean type)
    import parameters, and therefore may not return expected asset
  results.
  
    For example, when the 'Include Views' parameter is checked for
  the DB2
    Connector, but no views are returned.
  
    In these cases, values are passed as 'on' as the value of
  these parameters
    instead of 'True' or 'False'.
  

Problem conclusion

• This patch resolves the stated problem so that any checkbox
  (boolean) import
    parameter values are correctly sent as either 'True' or
  'False' depending
    on the parameter check state.
  

Temporary fix
