Error description
When copying a situation's DISTRIBUTION value, if value is more than 4168 bytes in length the resultant DISTRIBUTION value in written to file specified per -l switch will be truncated, thus loss of data for DISTRIBUTION value.
Local fix
The 'missing', truncated data can be manually added by editing the file that was specified per the -l switch.
Problem summary
tacmd editsit -l truncates DISTRIBUTION value > 4168 when updating XML file When using the -l option of 'tacmd editsit -l <myFavoriteSit.xml>' if the DISTRIBUTION property has a value that is more than 4168 bytes the resulting DISTRIBUTION property value written out to <myFavoriteSit.xml> is truncated. This usually results in the XML file, <myFavoriteSit.xml> in this example, being malformed and thus it can not be 'imported' via tamcd createsit or otherwise.
Problem conclusion
Corrected 'computed' buffer pointer to prevent loop logic from prematurely stopping the writing of DISTRIBUTION value to <myfavoriteSit.xml> output file. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0006
