PI65859: CORRUPTED .MMS FILE AFTER USING THE MIMPORT.EXE UTILITY ON AN XML FILE CREATED BY CUSTOM PROCESS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The IBM WebSphere TX map (.MMS) file can become corrupted
  by the import process (either the MIMPORT.EXE command line
  utility or the Desgn Studio import feature).
  
  This can occur on very large XML files, containing many
  thousands of map rules per map.
  

Local fix

• WTXRTC - RTC00045937
  PB / PB
  Circumvention: If there are a small number of corrupted rules
  (in the Unresolved Rules window) these can be manually removed,
  and the appropriate rules can be re-added back into the map
  using cut-&-paste directly from the XML.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  IBM Transformation Extender Design Studio, MIMPORT, TIMPORT, Map
  Compiler users
  
  Problem Description:
  Importing map source from the exported XML file with huge number
  of map rules has resulted in compilation errors as some of the
  map rules were gotten corrupted during import process and ended
  up as unresolved rules after the import.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  Windows
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed a problem with Map Designer, Type Designer and Map
  Compiler where they now handle string insertions to the internal
   memory blocks properly with out any memory corruption which
  could lead to random crashes or unexpected behavior or missing
  entries or corrupted entries from source maps, type trees and
  compiled maps.
  
  Applies to:
  8.3.0.6, 8.4.0.5, 8.4.1.4, 9.0.0.1
