IJ24095: WHEN THE LIBRARY.XML IS MODIFIED BY A TENANT AND IMPORTED THE CHANGES ARE GLOBAL AND AFFECTS ALL TENANTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  
  When the LIBRARY.xml is modified by a
  Tenant and imported the changes are global and affects all
  tenants.
  
  
  PROBLEM:
  
  When loading customized system xml files
  into a multi-tenant Maximo, cause the changes to be seen in all
  tenants. This is causing invalid bindings in the tenants that
  do not have the full changes associated with the modified
  system xml files.
  
  
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE: No.
  
  STEPS TO
  REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Login as the Tenant.
  
  2. Ensure any database
  configurations needed for the modification are already
  completed. In this case, the eg_attr attribute was added to the
  WORKLOG table.
  
  3. Go to Application Designer and export the
  System LIBRARY xml.
  
  4. Save the LIBRARY.xml file to local
  folder.
  
  5. Open the LIBRARY.xml file in an XML editor.
  
  6.
  Search for the location in the XML file that needs to be
  modified or have lines added.
  
  7. Modify the file as needed and
  save it.
  
  8. Import the modified XML logged in as the same
  Tenant.
  
  9. After Tenant is modified and the MxServer restart
  has been completed, they check the change. Log back in to
  Maximo as Tenant and go to an application where the change
  should be displayed. The change displays as expected.
  
  10. Log
  in as another Tenant and go to the same application to see if
  the change is shown. In this case, it is showing as an invalid
  binding because this tenant does not have the eg_attr attribute
  added to the WORKLOG table.
  
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:
  
  When
  the LIBRARY.xml is modified by a Tenant and imported the
  changes are global and affecting all tenants. The changes done
  by a tenant affect all tenants.
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  
  The changes
  done by a Tenant should affect only the current
  tenant.
  
  
  ENVIRONMENT (SYSTEM INFO):
  
  Multi-tenant Maximo
  7.6.1.1
