APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
ITX 10.1.0.x runtime or higher is used to execute a map with JSON input data, and the input type tree is native JSON data. When the map is compiled with either ITX 9.0.0.5 or 10.0.3.0 and then executed with ITX 10.1.0.2 the map completes successfully. Trace file shows: (Level 2: Offset 304, len 13, comp 25 of 34, #1, DI 000000000001:) Data at offset 304 ('3.141592653E5') was found to be of TYPE X'001E' (current_amount JSON JSON). When this map is compiled with ITX 10.1.0.2 and then executed with ITX 10.1.0.2 the map fails. Trace file shows: (Level 2: Offset 304, len 13, comp 25 of 34, #1, DI 000000000001:) Data at offset 304 ('3.141592653E5') is INVALID data of TYPE X'001E' (current_amount JSON JSON). Compiling with ITX 10.1.0 creates a different expectation in the input validation for the runtime engine.
Local fix
ITXCQ - ITX00061957 PB / PB Circumvention: None
Problem summary
Users Affected: IBM Transformation Extender users using JSON template with E notation. Problem Description: Numbers in E notation in JSON data failing map validation. Platforms Affected: All
Problem conclusion
Allow ITX template numeric fields to handle E notation. ITX will turn on E notation for a number, if in the template has a E number (5.11E2) for data. If E notation is turned on and this is an input card, ITX will allow E notation numbers and regular numbers. If E notation is turned on and this is an output card, ITX will output E notation numbers. Applies to: 10.1.1.1, 10.1.2.0 Fixed in the next service packs and releases. To obtain the fix for this APAR: To see if the next service pack or product release is available, check the IBM Transformation Extender Release Notes page: https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27008337 If the service pack or product release is available, download it from Fix Central: http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/ If the service pack or product release is not available and you require the APAR fix immediately, request a Limited Availability Interim Fix (LAIF) by opening a case: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/ Prior to version 9.0.0, IBM Transformation Extender was called IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender.
