IT22409: SPLITTED CDATA SECTION IS NOT MERGED TO A SINGLE ELEMENT FOR XMLNSC PARSER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Integration Bus currently does not have the option to merge
  all the splitted CDATA section for XMLNSC parser.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise v11 and IBM Integration
  Bus v10.0, using CDATA sections in the XMLNSC parser.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When the XMLNSC parser encounters a CDATA field this may be
  split into multiple elements in the message tree if the CDATA
  contains the character "]" (Right square bracket).
  
  This is because the XLXP parsing engine recognises this
  characted as markup and passes it to the IIB doc handler to
  interpret.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR introduces a new parameter "cdataFieldMerging" on the
  ComIbmGenericXmlParserFactory which allows the XMLNSC DocHandler
  to merge the multiple value children of CDATA section into a
  single element in the message tree .
  
  The default value of the parameter is set to "no" where the
  CDATA section gets split up to multiple parts based on "]"
  character and size of data .
  
  When the value is set to "yes" the CDATA section merges into a
  single element in the message tree, even if the character "]" is
  present in the data .
  
  This property can be set at the execution group level using
  mqsichangeproperties for example:
  mqsichangeproperties <brokerName> -e <egName> -o
  ComIbmGenericXmlParserFactory -n cdataFieldMerging -v <no|yes>
