Error description

• I think there is some issue with the startApp(String appName,Str
  ing[]args).
  when we are passing the the arguments array where it has more th
  an one element, seems like tha API is not adding ?space? beteen
  the arguments and hence the argument being passsed is not a vali
  d one:
  For example when customer is tyring to do:
  String[] execArgs= new String[7];
  
  execArgs[0] = '-sAB:ABC-999-002';
  execArgs[1] = '-cCD:ABC-098-001';
  execArgs[2] = '-r';
  execArgs[3] = '-fX:\\SoapUIPro_Workspace\\TestResults';
  execArgs[4] = '-j';
  execArgs[5] = '-a';
  execArgs[6] = 'X:\\SoapUIPro_Workspace\\DEV_Check-soapui-project
  .xml';
  
  startApp(DEV: SoapUI-Pro', execArgs);
  ------------------------------------------------
  the startApp() is actually combining all of them together as one
   argument (without spaces)which will make the finally passed arg
  ument to the application invalid/ill-formatted
  
  So as a work around  customer can try three things:
  1.Set up the arguments in the Application configuration wizard.
  2.Pass it as a single argument(which customer is already doing)
  or
  3.Add a ?space? character before the each argument.
  for eg:
  args[0]='myarg0' ;//space not needed for first argument
  args[1]=' myarg1';  //notice the space before arg3
  args[2]=' myarg2'; //notice tha space before arg2
  
  startApp('myapplication',args);
  ---------------
  and I think that should work fine(please let us know if it does
  not)
  
  If customer confirms it is working for him after adding the ?spa
  ce? characters manually before the passed arguments then please
  create an APAR for the same and we can fix the problem
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Not able to pass the arguments to the application in form of
  string[] when the length of the string array was more than
  one while using the startApp api.
  

Problem conclusion

• Made changes so that the arguments which are passed to the
  application are properly formatted.
  

Temporary fix
