IT45854: B2BI 6.2 - BEHAVIOR CHANGE IN THE 'PAGER' FIELD OF THE USER ACCOUNTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It reports that in their previous version of B2Bi (6.1.2.0),
  they were able to use any alphanumeric characters in the 'Pager'
  field when creating or editing a user. After upgrading to B2Bi
  6.2, they are now getting a 'System Error' dialog when
  attempting to insert the same values.
  

Local fix

• As part of the resolution we are allowing customers to
  create/edit useraccounts with alpha numeric characters to
  customer in order to resume the behavior in the previous
  releases and since few "Pager" field can be a Pager Id with
  alpha numeric similar to userid. So we have added the validation
  similar to that.
