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.
