Error description
The customer receives BBOU0051E Internal Communications error:
REASON=C9C20C30 when attempting to invoke a method in an
NT workstation using RMI/IIOP. The JAVA ORB running on the NT
workstation generates Version 1.2 IORs, but the WebSphere for
z/OS ORB currently rejects 1.2 IORs and throws the minor code
C9C20C30.  The WebSphere for z/OS ORB should not be mindful of
the IOR Minor version. Additionally, if steps are taken to avoid
Version 1.2 IORs, the same remote method invocation from z/OS to
the NT workstation fails on NT with a DATA CONVERSION error
(minor code=4942F388). This is due to a code page mismatch.

WAS z/OS client running in a JDK based server process receives
DATA_CONVERSION exception with minor code 4942F00D when trying
to call a JDK ORB hosted javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject running
in a z/OS process. WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS
and OS/390 client receives COMM_FAILURE exception with minor
code C9C21149 when calling a JDK hosted
javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject running in a non-z/OS process.

changed to export ASCII as the transmission codeset in the NLS
service context which is sent with GIOP requests. Also, the
checks for IIOP minor version have been removed.
