IT36165: AC18870_ INCORRECTLY SAYS SET FAILURE ACTION AS LOCAL ERROR LOG FOR PROCESSING TO CONTINUE AFTER VALIDATION FAILURES

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• ac18870_ has following information.
  
  --------------
  User Trace
  Logs all validation failures to the user trace, even if you have
  not asked for user tracing of the message flow. Use this setting
  if you want processing of the message to continue regardless of
  validation failures.
  Local Error Log
  Logs all validation failures to the error log (for example, the
  Event Log on Windows). Use this setting if you want processing
  of the message to continue regardless of validation failures.
  --------------
  
  It says even after any validation failure, processing of the
  message will be continued if Failure Action is configured as
  'User Trace' or 'Local Error Log'. But if the failure is due to
  structural validation failure then the processing cannot
  continue and so the processing get rolled back.
