Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users who use SAP stages
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  After installing the REST Rollup, or installing the SAP PACK, it
  is possible that stages from the SAP Packs hang when opening, or
  the SAP Connection or BAPI properties are missing, leading to
  incorrect compiled jobs which have empty or missing
  BAPIINTERFACE properties.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Install patch JR52514. Reinstall SAP Pack if necessary, see
  Problem Conclusion for details.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed CRLF / LF processing in the REST interfaces.
  
  While this patch is required to ensure this issue does not
  occur, it is also needed to prevent corruption of the SAP
  StageTypes when they are first copied to DataStage Server
  Projects.
  
  This can occur if the SAP PACK is installed, and the first
  Designer connection from a non-patched DataStage client
  refreshes the StageTypes from Xmeta. In this case it will be
  necessary to install the patch or fix pack, and re-install the
  SAP PACK (first uninstall, then install again) using the version
  specific installation instructions.
  
  The CRLF / LF processing in the REST interfaces has been
  problematic, this will be the latest change to resolve all the
  issues in this area.
  
  NOTE:
  It is possible that the BAPIINTERFACE properties cannot be
  processed correctly after installation of the patch on 9.1
  systems. This depends on whether changes were made before or
  after the 9.1 REST Rollup was installed in a previous
  installation. In this case it will be necessary to export the
  jobs to DSX and fix the parameters manually before re-importing.
  This task should be undertaken by the DataStage Core or SAP
  support teams.
