Error description

• Application Discovery 5.0.3.1
  
  If the Batch Server cannot complete its processing of the
  metadata obtained when a project is built using the Build
  Client, various problems could occur such as an incomplete list
  of analysis options, or incomplete lists of include files, etc.
  when using Impact Analysis reporting,
  
  In the failing case, Batch Server logs indicated exceptions
  similar to:

  This issue can occur when the IAD Batch Server's
  server.properties file is configured with the value of
  ccs.server.host set to an IP address that is directly followed
  by a space character.
  

Local fix

• Remove the space (x20 ASCII) character(s) following the value
  set for ccs.server.host, save the file, and restart the Batch
  Server service (or the IAD server machine where Batch Server is
  running).
  

Problem summary

• Blank space(s) after certain values in Batch Server
  server.properties file were causing the value to be interpreted
  incorrectly.
  

Problem conclusion

• Spaces after the properties values will be truncated from the
  value.
  

Temporary fix
