PM72803: ANY USE OF THE -ASYS OPTION ON THE MSDEXPORT/MSDIMPORT COMMANDS ON AN WTX IFD DOCUMENT CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF SYSTEM INFORMATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using the -ASYS command option with the msdexport/msdimport
  command may result in systems being lost from the Integration
  Flow Designer documents.
  
  For example, using the following commands on any .MSD document
  with systems defined will result in a new.msd file with no
  systems defined.
  
  msdexport old.msd -o export.xml -asys -log
  msdimport export.xml -o new.msd -asys -log
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00041463
  PB / PB
  Circumvention: Do not use the -ASYS command flag.  If required,
  remove Servers imported into the document manually.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender customers using MSDIMPORT and
  MSDEXPORT utilities
  
  Problem Description:
  MSDIMPORT command line utility does not generate the system
  definition file (.msd) from the exported system definition file
  (.xml) when the command line uses -ASYS command option with out
  any systems included in the command value (to include all
  systems).
  
  Platforms Affected:
  Win32
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed a problem with MSDIMPORT and MSDEXPORT command line
  utilities where they now work as expected with -ASYS and -ASVR
  command options in the command line by generating the XML and
  MSD files correctly.
