APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Using an earlier version of the Design Tools, it was possible to inadvertently create a pad entry greater than the allowed 1 character. (This is not possible in the current versions of the GUI). The 'bad' type tree entry, when compiled into a map and executed, may cause the core engine to crash.
Local fix
WTXCQ - WTX00035648 PB / PB Circumvention: Modify type trees so that Pad values are not greater than 1 character.
Problem summary
Users Affected: WebSphere Transformation Extender customers using 64 bits runtime version Problem Description: The 64 bit version of WTX product terminates due to SIGSEGV with the following stack trace: call_user_handler (ffffffff7bc02000, ffffffff7bc02000, fffffff f7fffbb90, c, 0, 0) + 3e0 CheckItemRepresentation (10040e440, 100407a78, ffffff28, b, 2, 1) + ef4 ValidateInput (10040e440, 0, 1, 100407a78, 100419eb0, 0) + 57a 0 ValidateInput (10040e440, 0, 70c0a06, 100407970, 100419eb0, 10 01a749c) + 13dc ValidateInput (10040e440, 0, 70c0a06, 100407868, 100419eb0, 10 01a73f4) + 13dc Timing_ValidateAnInputCard (10043c2b0, 5, 1, 100419eb0, 108, 0 ) + 294 RunInstance (10040e440, 0, 0, 2400, 0, 100412440) + fac This happens if the length of the pad chars is more than that actual type size. Delivered in: 8.2.0.6, 8.3.0.4
Problem conclusion
Platforms Affected: 1 AIX (64BITS) 2 HPUX(Itanium) (64 BITS) 3 HPUX(risc) (64BITS) 4 LINUX (64 BITS) 5 Solaris (64BITS) 6 zLinux (64 BITS) Problem Conclusion: Fixed a problem in the core engine to detect situation when the pad length is more than the actual type. Delivered in: 8.2.0.6, 8.3.0.3
