JR65084: BY DEFAULT USERS HAVE TO USE ZEN URL TO CONSUME IBM BUSINESS AUTOMATION NAVIGATOR SYNC FUNCTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Business Automation Navigator exposed two URLs: One is Zen
  URL, another one is Navigator Route. Due to technical issue BAN
  Sync can only be supported by one of them.
  In 21.0.3 IF007 and earlier, the default option is Zen URL.
  However, this was changed to Navigator Route since 21.0.3 IF008
  considering Navigator can't support session affinity then. But
  now Navigator session affinity issue has been solved, so to make
  better user experience, we decided to change it back to use Zen
  URL as default to support Sync function.
  
  For customers who want to still use Navigator Route, this can
  be achieved by setting "
  navigator_configuration.use_sync_with_zen_url: false" in CR.
