Error description
Using the REST API to create trading partner in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator V5.2.6.2 and using Custom Protocol Extensions, we can see that if the data such as a fingerprint key contains the Colon sign (used as separator of values in that field). This results in truncation of the data after the colon sign once updated in the database. Since the data is passed as a string to the database, no substitution character works to make the field have a correct and expected value in database. In REST API format standard, the Colon sign must not be used in member names but their is no specification or restriction for the data.
