Enhancements
#CRAPARTitleDetails
1103768Remove Depricated Transaction API from EventPersistence Classes
Symptom: The event persistence classes use "com.ibm.ws.extensionhelper.TransactionControl" class to suspend the resume the runtime's global transactions. The com.ibm.ws.extensionhelper.TransactionControl class is deprecated from WAS since v7.0.
Resolution: FlatFile Adapter will Use the com.ibm.wsspi.uow.UOWManager instead of deprecated com.ibm.ws.extensionhelper.TransactionControlc class. This has been fixed
2103715If any verification of Property gets fail, Print the value of the property with error message in trace
Symptom: Flat File Adapter is not populating the trace file if the property happens to be invalid with error message.
Resolution: Flat File Adapter now will print the property value along with the error message in the trace log file. This has been fixed
fixes
1JR40952Invalid SplitCriteria for SplitBySize should throw error
Symptom: When the SplitBySize is selected as SplitFunctionClassName , the invalid values are also been accepted
Resolution: Flat File Adapter throws error when SplitFunctionClassName is incorrect and sets the spiltcriteria to 0 when SplitBySize is given any invalid char or null. Throws exception when a negative value is given.
2JR40954No Error when access restricted to event, Archive or output Directories
Symptom: When we deny all access to the archive or event directory or output directory and run a inbound/outbound, the verify method does not throw any error in trace.log or any ffdc
Resolution: The error messages are properly enabled when a directory on which FlatFile is working on is access restricted. Adapter will be stopped if the directories doesnt have requested access initially.
