PM51997: LAUNCHER IGNORES THE OVERRIDE SETTING FOR METADATA(XML) PROPERTY FROM SYSTEM WATCH AND USES COMPILED MAP VALUE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The IBM WebSphere TX Launcher will ignore any override setting
  for the Metadata(XML) property defined in the Integration Flow
  Designer generated system .msl file.
  
  At runtime, instead of using the system watch override, the
  setting from the compiled map is used which results in
  validation errors and map failures if the XML Schemas are in an
  alternate location as per the override.
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00039355
  PB / EJ
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher customers
  
  Problem Description:
  Launcher does not override the Metadata(XML) property set for
  the map component in the system and instead uses the compiled
  map's metadata location resulting in map failures when the
  metadata is in overridden location when it should succeed.
  
  
  Platforms Affected:
  ALL
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed a problem with Launcher where it now overrides the
  Metadata(XML) location specified for the map component in the
  system instead of defaulting to compiled map's setting during
  map execution.
  
  Delivered in:
  8.2.0.6, 8.3.0.5, 8.4.0.0
  

Temporary fix
