APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Some heritage coaches that contain drop-down menus that have
special characters, such as ampersands (&), are not encoding
properly. For example, ampersands are encoded as &&.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • There are two filters that encode user input when it is
retrieved from heritage coaches and stored in human service
variables. There is some overlap so that for some user interface
elements, such as drop-down menus, values are encoded in both
places, which results in double encoded values.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM that ensures exactly once
encoding of user input that is retrieved in heritage coaches.
