LI82847: AFTER UPDATING THE WSDL REFERENCED BY A SOAP API USERS CANNOT create a new version of the API from the API Manager UI.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After updating the WSDL for a SOAP API, users cannot create a
  new version of the API from the API Manager UI and might get an
  error like:
  400: The multipart 'wsdl' field contains a WSDL definition with
  validation errors. The zip file format is incorrect (Error:
  invalid comment length. expected: 2. found: 0). Found while
  processing Buffer.
  

Local fix

• Users can workaround using the toolkit:
  1 - Create the API using wsdl either though UI or toolkit
  2 - Get the API document using toolkit
       apic draft-apis:document -o  --format yaml
  : > apiDocument.yaml
  3 - Edit this file
       Update the version of the API (info -> version)
       Then under x-ibm-configuration -> wsdl-definition -> wsdl
       Update this to the name of the updated wsdl  (You will
  need to have this file in the same dir as the apiDocument yaml)
  4 - Then create the new API
       apic draft-apis:create -o dev --api_type wsdl_to_rest
  --wsdl_service  --gateway_type
  datapower-api-gateway
  

Problem summary

• Creating a new version of an API fails after updating the WSDL
  file in API Manager.  Failure results in the error with a
  message "The multipart 'wsdl' contains a WSDL definition with
  validation errors. The zip file format is incorrect"
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is targeted for inclusion in IBM API Connect v10.0.1.11
  and v10.0.5.3
  

Temporary fix
