IT36352: USER CONTEXT IS RESTORED TO THE WRONG LOCATION IF REST ASYNC RESPONSE IS COMPRESSED

APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• It is possible to store User Context information in the
  LocalEnvironment at the
  LocalEnvironment/Destination/REST/Request/UserContext subtree
  prior to making an Asynchronous REST request using the REST
  Async Request Node. The intention is that this information is
  restored to the
  LocalEnvironment/Destination/REST/Response/UserContext subtree
  by the REST Async Response Node, however if the response
  message is compressed then instead it is restored to
  LocalEnvironment/Destination/REST/UserContext.
  

Local fix

• Write transofrmation code that is capable of de-referencing
  Context information from either location.
