PM94030: EXCEPTION QUERYING FOR THE 'OPTIONS' PROPERTY OF A JOBDESCRIPTION OBJECT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When querying for the 'options' property of a jobDescription an
  exception is thrown, when the 'Continue on error' option for the
  job is set.??In Java:?a java.lang.NullPointerException at
  java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.get(ConcurrentHashMap.jav
  a:779)??In
  C#:?System.InvalidCastException: Object cannot be stored in an
  array of this type.?   at System.Array.InternalSetValue(Void*
  target, Object value)??This is because the classes jobOption,
  jobOptionEnum and jobOptionBoolean were removed from the SDK
  API, but when sending such a query the server response still
  uses these classes, e.g.:??<item
  xsi:type="cm:jobOptionBoolean">??<name
  xsi:type="cm:jobOptionEnum">continueOnError</name>??<value
  xsi:type="xsd:boolean">true</value>?</item>?
