IT31159: BIP2136E ERROR WHILE SERIALIZING A MESSAGE IF HTTPHEADERS ARE REMOVED FROM THE MESSAGE TREE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a message flow receives an http reply with special characters
  and httpresponse header is removed from a compute node then
  while serializing the message the default CCSID can get used
  instead of Properties.CodedCharSetId value. This can cause
  character conversion issues and the message flow can fail with a
  BIP2136E error in the syslog file. The properties tree correctly
  shows the CodedCharSetId but while serializing the message a
  different CCSID can get used.
  
  BIP2136E: ( BKR10.default ) Source character ''d71e'' cannot be
  converted from Unicode to codepage '437'.
  

Local fix

• Set the CodedCharSetId explicitly from a Compute node by using
  ESQL statement 'SET OutputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId =
  1208;'
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM AppConnect Enterprise V11.0 and IBM Integration
  Bus V10.0 using the HTTPRequest Node.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If a HTTPRequest node in a messageflow receives a  http response
  with special characters and  the corresponding httpresponse
  header is later removed from a subsequent compute node, then its
  seen that the coded charset value of properties
  folder(Properties.CodedCharSetId ) is not honoured. Instead the
  default CCSID is used while serializing the message tree. This
  can cause character conversion issues and the message flow can
  fail with a BIP2136E error in the syslog file even though the
  properties folder correctly shows the CodedCharSetId that need
  to be used.
  
  BIP2136E: ( BKR10.default ) Source character ''d71e'' cannot be
  converted from Unicode to codepage '437'.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product no longer generates a BIP2136E while serializing an
  http reply message.
