PH20242: CALLING A REST SERVICE ON IBM I SUBSEQUENT PROGRAM CALLS RETURN A RUNTIME ERROR.

Rational Business Developer Fix Pack 3 (9.5.1.2) for 9.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Its observed in RBD v9.6 that with when calling a REST service
  on IBM i any subsequent program calls are returning a runtime
  error indicating the program call cannot find the program to be
  called within the library list. This is because the program is
  running within another connection job then the previous program
  call.
  As the program call is defined as STATEFUL any subsequent
  program calls should use the same connection job.

  STATEFUL
  Used on web projects for pages to access stateful
  host programs on IBM i; for example, RPG programs. This option
  bypasses the host catcher program. It creates and stores a
  connection based on the web session; "subsequent IBM i calls
  will reuse the same connection".
