Error description

• Stub Guard 'Record Doesn't Exist' does not work
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Create a stub that has a guard condition 'Record Doesn't
  Exist'
  
  2. Start the stub
  
  3. Send an event to the stub that has a record that does not
  exist
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  The stub should process the record
  
  ACTUAL RESULTS:
  
  The stub takes the configured Pass Through action of the stub
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Set the guard condition to 'None'.
  Put the Lookup Test Data flow in the Business Logic of the stub
  Add a Pass and Fail path
  Process the stub if the Fail condition is met

  * All users of IBM Rational Integration Tester attempting to   *
  * use the "Record Doesn't Exist" Guard condition in a stub     *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The stub Guard condition "Record Doesn't Exist" does         *
  * nothing.                                                     *
  * If this guard is used for an event and the record look-up    *
  * fails, processing does not continue.  The message is         *
  * discarded or pass-through invoked depending on the stub      *
  * configuration.  The following event of the same type is      *
  * ignored.                                                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
