APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • This APAR restores (configurable) support for Component items
    specified in a WCI feed using a subset of the legacy syntax
    which allowed Component items to have multiple child elements
    defined in the feed. All child elements are ignored with the
    exception of the child element matching the parent component
    type. For example a SharedFile Component will use a File
    element
    or a SharedImage Component will use an image element.
    
    To enable this legacy support the following property must be
    added to WCMConsumerPlugin.properties
    special.component.mode=true
    
    Use of this function is strongly discouraged. It is instead
    recommended that feeds be updated to have only a single child
    element for Component items.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • Legacy WCI feeds allowed more than one element to be specified
    on components with all but the first being ignored. This
    functionality.
