PI14964: MAP DEBUGGER CRASHES DESIGN STUDIO WHEN STEPPING IN A BREAKPOINT ON A RULE WITH THE PARSE FUNCTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The map debugger crashes Design Studio v8.4.1.1 when stepping in
  a rule with the PARSE function.
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00044665
  PVB / PVB
  Circumvention: Set the breakpoint after the PARSE function
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender Map Debugger users who debug
  PARSE function
  
  Problem Description:
  When a breakpoint is set in PARSE function, Design Studio aborts
  when the debugger 'STEP IN' function is used. The debugger
  internal stack is corrupted. The problem happens when component
  rule is evaluated from PARSE function.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• The core engine has been fixed to detect that component rule
  validation is called from PARSE function and avoid calling
  debugger function. The debugger applies only to code that builds
   the output.
  
  Applies to:
  8.4.1.1
  
  Fixed in the next service packs and releases.
