Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All TEMS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Web Services Workflow activities fail   *
  *                      to run on a z/OS TEMS.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this PTF.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Data used by these activity types is stored in UTF-8 and
  parsing the data fails on z/OS because it was using hardcoded
  literal values.
  

Problem conclusion

• The hardcoded literals were converted to their UTF-8
  equivalents.
