Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All Users of IBM Integration Bus v10.0 and App Connect Enterprise V11.0 using SAP Nodes with JCO API 3.1 libraries Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A change in error codes between JCO Library versions 3.0 and 3.1 meant that a specific API call meant that logic to automatically attempt to use an upper case version of the password was incorrectly executed. On SAP systems with cases sensitive passwords this can result in the user account being locked out.
Problem conclusion
Since the option to automatically use an upper case version of the password is purely historical and no currently supported version of SAP are configured by default with case insensitive passwords IBM Integration Bus v10.0 and App Connect Enterprise V11.0 SAP Adapter will no longer attempt to use an upper case version of the password by default. Users who wish to re-enable this functionality can do so by by setting environment variable MQSI_ENABLE_JCO_PASSWORD_UPPERCASE. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v10.0 10.0.0.24 v11.0 11.0.0.12 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006041 If the maintenance level is not yet available,information on its planned availability can be found on: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006308 ---------------------------------------------------------------
