LI81375: INVOKE POLICY MAY FAIL IN SOME CASES WHEN THE OUTPUT VARIABLE SPECIFIED IS MESSAGE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the output response variable in the invoke policy is
  specified with a value of "message", the policy will fail if
  the policy has a stop-on-error specified or is not the last
  policy in the API.
  

Local fix

• Do not specify the response variable value at all as it will
  default to message if not specified.
  

Problem summary

• The invoke policy in this case was issuing an apim.setvariable
  function call for "message".  This function called an internal
  function only used in this use case which used an undefined
  variable that caused an exception to be thrown.  The invoke
  policy was changed to treat the specification of this policy
  property to be the same as not specified at all, which assumes
  "message" as a default but takes a different code path.  The
  internal function was also corrected.
  

Problem conclusion

• <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">A fix will be
  delivered in the API Connect 5.0.8.8 GA and 2018.4.1.11 GA
  releases.</span>
