Map card definitions have an XML Namespace pairs limit of 5120 bytes

Troubleshooting


Problem

In a WebSphere® Transformation Extender (WTX) map, attempts to load or reload namespaces in an XML card when namespaces exceed 5120 bytes will crash Design Studio if the fix for APAR PM60227 is missing. If the fix is applied, an error message will be issued when you try and save the card information.

Symptom

Attempt to load or reload namespaces in an XML card when namespaces exceed 5120 bytes will crash Design Studio.

Cause

Code did not test for maximum name space pair size.

Environment

Windows

Resolving The Problem

Apply the patch for APAR PM60227. Delete unneeded namespace pairs until name space size is less than 5120 bytes. The size of each namespace pair is the number of characters in the namespace pair plus 2 additional bytes. The 5120 byte limitation will be removed in a future release of WTX.
