PH62759: THE IBM ACE 12 TOOLKIT ERRORS (OR CRASHES) WHEN THE ITX 11 NODE PLUGIN IS INTEGRATED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Occurs when using the IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) Plugin
  Node 11.0.0.x in the IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) Toolkit
  12.0.12.x on the Windows platform.
  
  When the integration steps are complete, the additional node
  (Sterling TX\ITX Map) correctly appears in the Toolbox.  As a
  user attempts to drag one instance onto the design canvas, the
  Toolkit either generates a pop-up exception or the whole ACE
  Toolkit crashes.
