  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.
  

Temporary fix
