APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
It may be observed that when using the IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) 10.1.x REST API to execute maps, backup file locations that are specified with a relative path will NOT create the backup files in the expected place. Example: A map placed under /data/maps with a backup location set to ../backup/ The same map run under Command Server would create the backup files in /data/backup/. The REST API potentially would fail to create the backup files, or they may appear in an unexpected location.
