APAR status

• Closed as program error.

  following error response is seen:
  
  BIP4041E: Execution group 'default' received an administration

  While attempting to process an administration request, an
  exception was encountered. No updates have been made to the

  Keywords:BIP4041E,sub flow,override,z/OS
  

Local fix

• IBM Supplied a fix that uses Unicode rather than EBCDIC
  definitions for separators in the configurable services
  overrides for sub flows.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.0.1 who use sub
  flows with overrides on z/OS
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  When deploying a sub flow with overrides on z/OS a response
  similar to this is seen :
  
  BIP4041E: Execution group 'default' received an administration
  request that encountered an exception.
  While attempting to process an administration request, an
  exception was encountered. No updates
  have been made to the configuration of the execution group.
  
  Review related error messages to determine why the
  administration request failed.
  
  BIP2243W: Message flow 'Child_Flow' cannot find message flow
  node '
  Child_Flow#FCMComposite_1_2+queue'.
  

Problem conclusion

• WebSphere Message Broker has been modified so that a UNICODE
  rather than an EBCDIC constant is used to represent a '+'
  character when storing sub flow override properties.
