APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The WTX 8.3 MIME Adapter example SendMultipleAttachments map,
  from emailatt.mms map source file, completes successfully on
  Windows but map fails on AIX with the following error.
  
  "<Message>FAIL function aborted map:Unknown error
  code</Message>".

  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender MIME adapter users
  
  Problem Description:
  The MIME adapter does not successfully execute on UNIX platform.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  ALL
  

Problem conclusion

• The WTX JNI layer loads any jar files that are located under the
  "<install path>\extjar" sub-directory on Windows and the
  "<install path>/libs/extjar" sub-directory on UNIX.  Before this
  fix, the "mail.jar" module would not get loaded and would
  thereby prevent the successful execution of the MIME adapter.
  
  The MIME adapter (as per the release notes) requires the use of
  an external/optional java package, which implements the
  "javax/mail" API interface.  In 8.2 and 8.3, this functionality
  is present in the mail.jar module.  Due to compatibility issues
  with JavaMail in JVM 1.6, the 8.3 release changed the location
  of the mail.jar module to be under the "libs/extjar"
  sub-directory location.
  
  Delivered in:
  8.3.0.5
