IJ23738: SOAP QUERIES NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 5 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0005)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• SOAP queries are not working as expected since moving TEMS from
  a distributed to a zOS platform. This APAR is for distributed
  platform codes changes and OA59289 is for the zOS platform.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• In ITM 630FP7 SP2, the HTTP server was enhanced to perform
  additional validation of the URL from the client.
  With SP2 installed, while the XML content returned to the
  Netview/SA client is correct, the format of the output was
  unintentionally changed so that it was returned in 'chunks'
  instead of in one contiguous block.
  As Netview does not support chunking, the parsing of the output
  fails.
  
  
  Netview is unable to parse responses from the ITM SOAP server
  after 630 FP7 SP2 is applied to the Hub.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was changed to return the data unchunked.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
