    ****************************************************************
    When viewing/comparing/restoring a baseline of a View
    created from a project stored in DB2 the RequisitePro
    Baseline Manager show this error:
    
    "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character
    (Unicode: 0x4) was found"
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem occurs during the creation of the baseline. A
    logic was added to allow the baseline process, to use a DB2
    native connection for handling the data used for the
    creation process.
