PH51533: RPT TEST SHOWS "NULL" FOR RESPONSE CONTENT WHEN JSON DATA TRANSFORM APPLIED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The customer's application has responses with the following
  Content-Type in the response header:
  
     Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
  
  The actual content in these responses is text but is not
  formatted like JSON, such as:
  
     //OK[1,["06-22-2021"],0,7]
  
  When they generate a test with the default options with RPT
  10.5, the test shows the response Content as "null".
  
  If they turn off the JSON data transform, then the response
  Content shows the actual text.
  

Local fix

• To work around this, disable the "Convert to JSON format" option
  in the Available transformers in Window->Preferences->Test->Test
  Generation and regenerate the test from the recording.
