Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users of IDS 11.50 and above.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When SQL_LOGICAL_CHAR is set in the onconfig file, blade     *
  * registration would fail.                                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Either request a patch or wait until IDS 11.50.xC10 or       *
  * 11.70.xC5 or later is released.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• When SQL_LOGICAL_CHAR feature was added to server, it did not
  make it compatible to the existing blade registration. Now the
  new code is added to make blade registration working with
  SQL_LOGICAL_CHAR feature.  Fixed in IDS 11.50.xC10 and
  11.70.xC5.
