  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • When retrieving source information from Changeman XML, member
    names that contain characters outside the standard ASCII range
    0-127 can cause parsing errors in the AD Build Client XML
     parser.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The Changeman reply subroutines in AD Connect for Mainframe were
     modified to insert the following XML encoding attribute into
    the XML reply:
    ENCODING="ISO-8859-1"?
    
    This allows the XML parser on AD Build Client to correctly parse
    the reply.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This change was first provided in PTF PH23458 , and then later
    made part of AD Connect for Mainframe v5107 ( PTF UI70062 ) and
    all later versions.
