APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Export/Import from IS Manager or istool .isx file requires recompile before job can run successfully after import. The .isx file contains runtime data but the job fails until it is recompiled. Problem also shows using DSXImportService.sh or DSXImportService.bat to import .dsx files which contain job runtime.
Local fix
Workaround is to recompile the job. Alternatively for a dsx fileand DSXImportService, use the Designer import function instead.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of Information Server Manager export / import facilities, istool commandline tool and DSXImportService commandline tool **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Certain jobs imported with their runtime using the Information Server Manager or the istool and DSXImportService commandline tools give internal errors when run. The errors are resolved if the job is recompiled. It is difficult to anticipate the errors reported, but so far we have seen errors like "Parameter not resolvable: DSCAPIOP_...". Not all job runtime will be affected; this example is seen only when dscapiop / API stages are used in a parallel job. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply the patch to resolve the problem. Refer to readme file for required locations - client, server & domain. Re-export any istool or Information Server Manager files. This fix is included in 8.1 FP1. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Resolved by correcting internal separator (mark character) handling in the Java infrastructure used by the affected components : export and import from istool and Information Server Manager, and import using DSXImportService. Customers experiencing this problem with information server manager or istool export files will have to re-export the affected components after applying the patch. DSX files which came from Designer GUI or similar components should not need re-exporting.
