PI23738: COGNOS SDK EXPORT DEPLOYMENT ADDS EMPTY FOLDER REFERENCE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Export deployment from Cognos SDK adds an empty
  folder?reference with a question mark. If the deployment is
  created an export deployment manually, we only see one
  entry.??The extra folder goes away sometimes if we open the
  deployment properties , that means if we open the deployment
  archive's properties for the first time, we see the extra empty
  folder reference then we click OK and open the properties again;
  the reference does not exist anymore. But this behavior may or
  may not appear. ??We suspect that the post processing/cleanup
  that is?usually done when creating export deployment using
  Cognos administration is probably missing when we create export
  deployment specification using SDK.
