IT33066: IT31928 IS INCOMPLETE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IT31928 defines the ordering in which ESQL files are processed
  during a deployment or startup to be the lexicographical
  ordering of the full paths to the deployed files on disk.
  IT31928 is incomplete in that it only applies this ordering
  during application startup. The order of deployment of ESQL
  files as part of a BAR file deploy is still system dependent.
  This can lead to a BAR file that contains ESQL files with an
  invalid ordering dependency deploying "successfully" but then
  not being able to start after the application has been stopped
  or the integration server has been restarted.
  Additionally this ordering restriction is not documented in the
  Knowledge Center.
  

Local fix

• Restructure ESQL files in such a way that the order of
  processing of individual is not critical, e.g. do not initialize
  schema or shared variables in one file with values defined in
  another ESQL file.

Problem conclusion

• ESQL files are now always processed in lexicographical order
  during startup and deployment.
