• ITXCQ - ITX00063221
  TR / TR
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  IBM Transformation Extender users who may have run applications
  which open the launcher trace file for reading.
  
  Problem Description:
  Compound system txt file is not always displaying all the
  watches or the startup successful message.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  Windows
  

Problem conclusion

• On Windows, writes to the launcher trace file were sometimes
  prevented by another process which opened the file for reading.
  The sharing mode was updated to FILE_SHARE_READ to allow the
  launcher trace file to be opened for writing even if the file
  had already been opened for reading by another process.
