JR47834: FAIL TO OPEN IDOC CC STAGE WITH ERROR "FAILED TO CREATE TAB PAGE:VMDATASTAGE.CCUSTOMSTAGE.SAPIDOCEXTRACTCONNECTOR.IDOCTYPAGE..."

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Here is the procedure:
  
  1.  Create parallel IDoc job:
  
  dropped the following IDoc Extract Connector and IDoc Load
  Connector stages in the parallel job.  It not necessary to
  filling in the connection info.
  
  2.  Saved the job.
  
  3.  Close the job.
  
  4.  Create a new parallel IDoc job by dropping in a
  IDOC Connector
  
  5.  Without saving the job, open the perviously saved IDoc job.
  Double click on one of the IDoc to open the property window.
  
  If the problem is not reproduced, close the saved job and new
  job.  Repeat step 1-5.
  
  The usage of OLE requires a AfxOleLockApp() call in the
  constructor and a AfxOleUnlockApp() call in the destructor to
  avoid the untimely unloading of the DLL. These calls are missing
  in the IDoc Extract stage and and the IDoc Load stage.
  

Local fix

• NA
