IT32843: UNABLE TO EDIT CDATA STORE FILES IN THE WEBGUI

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When editing a file with a CDATA, all CDATA sections within
  will not function properly causing a 500 error: internal error.
  The following logging will assist noting cdata sections are not
  allowed, instead of the 500 internal error.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• CDATA escape string ]]> within a file saved to the WebGUI may
  result in the failure of the file upload.
  

Problem conclusion

• CDATA is used in the transport of the file through the WebGUI
  Thus the closure tag ]]> is a restricted set of characters.
  the document is now scanned and a clear failure message is
  displayed on the WebGUI indicating the error.
  
  Fixed In: 10.0.0.0
  

Temporary fix

• Pre and Post fix this can be resolved by splitting the string up
  to not contain the ]]> combination.
  
  Example:
  
  var CDATA = "<![CDATA]" + data + "]]>";
  Can be changed to:
  var CDATA = "<![CDATA]" + data + "]]" + ">";
