System
Manager:
In the Edit Configuration editor of the System Manager, the name of a log file/trace file was not appropriately validated to exclude 9 characters \ / : * ? " < > | Fixing notes : because the text field that accept the name of the log file/trace file allows a full path of the log file to be entered (e.g. C:\temp\logfile.txt) and so this fix cannot be validated against two characters \ and /. The name of the log file/trace file is correctly validated not to contain characters such as : * ? " < > and | |

Connector
Designer:
Once-supported business objects and maps remain in the configuration file, causing dependency errors during project validation. After applying this fix, maps associated to previously supported business objects will be removed as the file is saved. Also, when a supported business object is deleted from the "Supported Business Objects" tab, its associated map will be removed. The updated configuration file will pass validation. |
|
|
|
SNMP
Agent:
The SNMP Agent was sending out traps with no useful information of where the traps originated from. More specifically, the traps appened 127.0.0.1 as their origination host. This fix made it so that the traps contain the SNMP Agent's IP Address so that receivers can determine where the traps came from. |
|
|
|
Business
Object Designer:
In the BO designer, in the left hand pane, the projects and the BOs are not in any sorted order. They should be sorted alphabetically or by some other method. The fix makes projects and bo names sorted in a case-insensitive alphabetical order |
|
|
|
Map
Designer:
When certain maps were opened with the preference 'validate map when open' set on the Map Designer, the Java code was not visible for transformation rules with incorrect attribute information. This bug has been fixed. |
|
|
|
Business
Object Designer:
The BO Designer invokes a JVM to save BOs. This JVM was previously not tuned for large repositories. As of 4.2.1.6 the JVM was tuned to support at least 1000 bos. |
|
|
|
Process
Designer:
Create collaboration template where start node immediately precedes decision node. Have the node branch to 2 different action nodes. Save the template and check out the java code - you'll see that the switch statement does not include the second branch because the start node automatically branches to the next node. However, this behavior would be incorrect if the initial boolean value of the decision var was supposed to go to the next node after that. Fixing Notes: Connection between a start node and a decision node was disallowed. |
|

|
System
Manager:
In the ServerComponent management section of the System Manager, when trying to change the PollFrequency in connector properties dialog only integer value can be set. - seems to expect integer value only. Fixed In fixed dialog PollFrequency can be set to integer, “key” and “no”. |
|

|
Log
Viewer:
While displaying a file in LogViewer, a customer selected "Edit --> Preferences" to display the User Configuration Options window. On this window the customer selected the "Columns" tab. The customer reordered the visible columns and clicked OK. The order of the column data changed, but the column headings remained the same. After applying this patch, the column headings will stay in sync with the column data. |
|
|
|
System
Manager:
Collaboration graphical view displays incorrect binding of incoming maps. Fixing notes : If there are multiple incoming maps, collaboration view shows only one map. The fix has been made to display all the incoming maps in the tooltip of the map icon. Also, Edit definitions or properties menu item will bring up a selection dialog that will list all the incoming maps. |
|
|
|
Business
Object Designer:
Attributes of a business object definition, after saved in a file of type ".xls Spreadsheet", were not displayed correctly in Microsoft Excel. The fix has been made to correctly save business object attributes in a xls file. |
|
|
|
System
Manager:
In Interchange Server Component Management, if user right-clicks and chooses properties for items on the server, e.g. for a connector, only the first 32 maps are shown, even though the connector can have more. Fixed property dialog so that it can display more than 32 items. |
|
|
|
Process
Designer:
BO Probes can generate very long names even under normal circumstances. The problem is that in the repository CXREPOSBLOBS table the "ID" field has a maximum length of 80. Fixing notes: Since the ID column length is restricted to 80 characters, we cannot change it. Currently the probe ID is constructed with three parts, separated by a dot ("."): collaboration_name.probe_link_id.current_millisecond where "current_millisecond" is around 14 characters. That leaves us 64 characters to work with. Previously, the generated probe link ID is in the format "BOProbe.LinkTransition_37". Now the Process Designer will shorten the generated probe link ID as much as possible, (i.e. in the format "BP1234"), so that leaves collaboration_name a maximum of 58 characters. If the user wants to use probe in their collaboration, their collaboration name cannot be longer than 58 characters. |

|
Process
Designer:
In the process designer user can create an action node with two service calls attached. Saving and compiling work fine without any error message. But when user looks into the generated code it is only generated for the first service call that was attached to the action node. Fixing notes: As we do not support connecting two service calls to an action node at server/code generation level, we removed the support at the designer level too. So now onwards user can not connect more than one service call to an action node. For an existing template that had this situation already designed in, on opening that diagram in Process Designer, one service call will be disconnected from the action node. On Closing that diagram, user will be prompted to save the changes made. |
|
|
|
Connector
Designer:
If an already available connector configuration was changed via Connector Configurator and saved as a new connector, the properties CW:NAME in CW:ConfigurationInfo and in CW:header in the .cfg file were not being updated. After applying this patch, these properties will be updated as the file is being saved. |
|
|
|
System
Manager:
The System Manager DOS window stays open once the System Manager application window comes up (using startcsm.bat). The fix has been made to close the DOS window when System Manager comes up. |
|
|
|
Activity
Editor:
In Activity Editor, when multiple graphical components are selected on the canvas, only one of the selected component is moved by using the mouse; the other selected components are not moved. After the fix, multiple selected graphical components can be moved together by holding down the CTRL key as moving. |
|
|
|
Process
Designer:
In Process Designer, dragging a toolbar button into the workspace using ALT + LEFT Mouse down, will remove the button from the toolbar. There is no way to restore that button onto the toolbar again. Fixed the bug by disabling the drag and drop action on the toolbar buttons. |
|
|
|
Process
Designer:
In Process Designer, the "Advanced..." button is not initially visible in the Service Call properties dialog. However, the window can be resized to show the hidden button. This occurs only under the Windows Large Fonts setting. This can be set using Windows->Display Properties->General->Large Fonts. Fixed the bug by making sure the dialog will be sized to fit the advanced button by default. |
|
|
|
Activity
Editor:
In a graphical activity, if a constant is declared to contain space characters " " only, then the generated Java code will trim the text and initialize the constant to null instead of the space characters. Fixed code generation in order to prevent trimming the value specified in activity constants. The activity constant can now be initialized to space characters " ". |
|
|
|
Connector
Designer:
Customers ran into a problem where once-supported business objects and maps are not getting removed from the connector definition. Therefore, dependency errors were thrown when trying to validate the project. After applying this fix, the customers will be able to delete selected business objects. When the connector configuration file is re-saved, maps associated with the deleted business objects will be removed from the configuration file automatically. The updated configuration file will pass when validation is checked and/or when the configuration is deployed. |
|
|
|
Activity
Editor:
In Activity Editor, when the "condition" function block is used, the initalization and assignment of port variables are put outside the condition scoop, which creates a problem for using temporary variable for port variables. Fixed code generation to put the initalization and assignment of port variables in the scoop of the condition statement. (i.e. inside the "if(..){...} else {...} constructs). |
|

|
Business
Object Designer:
For some BO projects with complex inter-dependencies, the BO Designer crashed when saving high level BOs. In particular, the BO Designer crashed when it was either not modified or had a modified sub-BO very low in the project hierarchy. The fixed consisted in replacing a recursive traversal of modified BOs with a linear stack traversal. |
|
|
|
Business
Object Designer:
An incorrect namespace of application specific information in the structure of BO schemas prevented the application specific information to be deployed to the server. The namespace has been modified to make the deployment succeeded. |
|
|
|
Process
Designer:
In Process Designer for a collaboration template, the user cannot uncheck a compensation service call and have it stay that way. If the user unchecks it, clicks "Apply", then closes, it is still unchecked when the user goes back in to the service call properties. If the user saves the template, closes Process Designer, and opens it back up, the compensation service call is checked again. Fixed the bug by making sure that Process Designer is saving the modified service call properties properly. |
|
|
|
Business
Object Designer:
An error in the structure of BO schemas prevented them from successful deployment to the server. In particular, this created inconsistencies in the application specific information of BOs. The error was fixed and BOs should work as expected. |
|

|
Map
Designer :
In a map that was created in release 3.1.2, in some cases, the "Set Value" transformation rule will not upgrade properly to 4.2.x versions. This problem occurrs when the map is defined in 3.1.2 release, if the transformation rule is originally defined as "Move", "Join", "Split" or "Submap", then without deleting the transformation rule, define a "Set Value" transformation rule on top of the existing transformation rule. In this case, the map is not associating the new "Set value" transformation rule with the destination attribute. So after the map is upgraded to 4.2.x versions, the map shows the transformation rule as the original type (i.e. Move) instead of "Set Value" type, and when map is recompiled, it will generate code that will transform as the original rule does (i.e. code for "Move" is generated). Fixing notes:
[MapsUpgrade]
After adding these two lines to the end of the "cwtools.cfg" file, when the maps are imported from ICS server for upgrade, ALL map transformation rules will be modified to be user-customized -- this will make the map to compile with the java code fragments that was generated in 3.1.2, thus allowing the "Set Value" and all other transformation rules work the same as in release 3.1.2. WARNING: with the flag " AutoUpgradeOperations"
set to "no", upgrade for all the maps will be affected. This means
that the upgraded map will always use the Java code fragment that was generated
with the map when the transformation rule is created and that these java
code for the transformation rules will not be automatically upgraded in
future releases. Please use this setting with care. |

|
Activity
Editor:
When an activity is saved, if the scrollbar is not at the original position, then the activity node's position is not saved properly, and so when the activity is reopened, the node may not be shown in the canvas. Fixing notes:
|
|
|
|
SNMP:
The SNMP Agent was causing memory leak for the WebSphere InterChange Server and itself. The fixing makes sure that there would not be any infinite growth in memory usage. |
|
|
|
System
Manager :
The System Manager was crashing by going out of available Memory a) When the user tries to delete a component from a project, b) When the user tries to deploy a large Repository to the Server. c) When the user tries to export a large Repository to a Repository Jar file. d) When the user tries to find the references or dependencies of a particular component by right-clicking a component and choosing "Show dependencies", "Show References".. Fixing notes: The fix has been tested with projects imported from Repository Jar files of up to 9MB size. In case the customer has a bigger repository, it may be needed to be deployed as two packages instead of a single package. In case the deployment to an active server fails, the customer can export the project to a Repository file(*.jar files) and then repos copy "in" the jar file using the "Repos_Copy" command line utility. |

Business
Object Designer:
Business Object Designer did not adapt any App Spec Info of some business object with a length greater than 225 characters. Fixing notes:
