Troubleshooting
Problem
When using a Sized Binary object in an IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) map and that data is exactly divisible by 1MB (1048576 bytes) then the data can become corrupted and appear as all NULLs
Symptom
NULL characters found at every byte location instead of the expected data
Cause
Buffer calculation incorrect
Environment
Any IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) execution engine on the Unix/Linux platforms
Diagnosing The Problem
Removing or adding 1 byte to the data, is shown to give the correct values in output
Resolving The Problem
Obtain and apply a patch from IBM with a build number of 9.0.0.2(100) or later
