PM31037: MAP FAILS TO LOAD FROM CORRECT LOCATION AFTER BAILING DUE TO XDS AMBIGUITY CONDITION IS ENCOUNTERED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A map fails to load with the error "Map does not exist (3)",
  return code 3, due to the map being loaded from an incorrect
  location with the after "Bailing due to XDS ambiguity / unknown
  type for map" condition is encountered.  The "Use map from
  project" subdirectory is incorrectly added before the map name
  when the "Use external map" is defined for the WTX Map node.

  In the above you will notice that the map path is correct, but
  once it restarts, a_BE was added to the path name.  In place of
  a_BE, you could also see a_LE or e_BE
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00036616
  TR / TR
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender customers using WMB XMLNS
  domain (XDS4C parsing) with external map and the map fails in
  XDS4C causing it to restart
  
  
  Problem Description:
  When bailing in XDS4C, and doing a restart, the code to load the
  map was forcing the map to be a "memory" map, so it would append
  the platform directory to the path.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified code to pass in to RunTX whether or not the map is a
  "memory" map (map in project).
  
  Delivered in:
  8.2.0.6, 8.3.0.4
