Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows 4.6.0 Fix Packs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Trying to import an Initialization Parameters file
  (Initparms.cfg) may fail with error LIPF008E for one of the
  following parameters: record.wrap, contact.name, contact.phone
  and descrip. Looking at the file, these parameters do not show
  a value assigned.
  
  The file had been exported using CD Configuration Tool
  (CDConfig.exe) from a fresh installation, i.e. before the
  initialization parameters had not been applied at least once,
  like in CD Requester.

  initialization parameters had not been applied at least once,
  like in CD Requester.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  Windows
  

Problem conclusion

• Resolution Summary:
  Updated the installation to properly initialize the record.wrap
  registry key. The other parameters will default to <None> now
  in alignment with other parameters.
  Also updated server and CDConfig to ignore empty values rather
  than fail the operation.
  Workaround:  Edit the Initparm.cfg file, add missing values and
  try the import again - or - Apply the initialization parameters
  once, like from CD Requester, before doing the export.
