APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • One of the patches is causing compilation issue -
    patch_JR31443v2.  When the patch is removed, the compilation
    error goes away.
    

Local fix

  • There is a shared container used in this job called
    SCInboundErrorLog, this uses a parameter set WHS_PARAM_SET, it
    also contains a number of environment variables. However, these
    environment variables are also present in parameter set
    WHS_PARAM_SET. This is a design error as you cannot have an
    environment variable as a job or container parameter that is
    also present in a parameter set that the job or container also
    has, as it causes ambiguity. Therefore, those environment
    variables either have to come out of the parameter set, or the
    shared container.
    
    Need to restart the designer after above
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    All client users with patch JR31443v2 or JR29478 installed
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Compiling a job using a shared container that has environment
    variables defined as parameters that are also defined in a
    parameter set it uses, causes a "precompilation failed - no
     other information" error.
    ****************************************************************
    RECOMMENDATION:
    Install patch_JR32624  (which requires JR31443v2 to be already
    installed).
    This change is included in 8.1 Fix Pack 1.
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code was failing to produce the correct error message
    (whichwas to say which shared container failed compilation and
         identify the duplicate environment variables at fault)
    

Temporary fix
