IT03958: PREFIX CHANGE FOR THE SAME NAMESPACE OF AN XML MAP INPUT/OUTPUT

IBM Integration Toolkit Version 9.0 Fix Pack 3
IBM Integration Toolkit version 9.0 Fix Pack 4
IBM Integration Toolkit version 9.0 Fix Pack 6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The graphical mapper in the Toolkit generates prefixes for
  XML namespaces of map inputs and outputs. The prefixes were not
  serialized, and as a result could change after modifying map
  input/output, and different prefixes could be associated to the
  same namespace at development time in Toolkit and at runtime.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit V8.0 and IBM
  Integration Toolkit V9.0 using the map editor.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A prefix is generated for each namespace involved in a map.
  The prefix-namespace pairing was not kept across map editor
  sessions; while the prefix was used in XPath expressions for
  some mapping transforms. When there is an addition or change to
  the map's input and output, the prefix for the same namespace
  can become different. The change in prefix results in unresolved
  XPath references or unexpected results from a previously written
  XPath expression.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

  tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
  

Problem conclusion

• The product is corrected and the prefix for a particular
  namespace in the map editor session will not change without the
  user's knowledge.
