Error description

• Client ATO is using RSA 8.0.4, they has following problems:
  
  
  
  When client create an Integer type extended attribute using UI,
  the
  generated extended attribute's type in topology file will be as
  follows:
  
  
  ?core:extendedAttribute uuid='_tVX-MDUlEeKQgYK2xgJMFA'
  
  name='TESTINTEGER_FROM_UI'?
  
  - - - - ?core:data xsi:type='xsd:int:Object'
  
  uuid='_tVYlQDUlEeKQgYK2xgJMFA'?10?/core:data?
  
  ?/core:extendedAttribute?
  
  
  
  Whereas, when it is generated by using the ?deploy:set /? tag
  it's type
  is set as follows:
  
  ?core:extendedAttribute uuid='_4swtMDUlEeKi-ds3agwJSQ'
  
  name='TESTINTEGER_FROM_TAG'?
  
  - - - - ?core:data xsi:type='xsd:integer'
  
  uuid='_4swtMTUlEeKi-ds3agwJSQ'?10?/core:data?
  
  ?/core:extendedAttribute?
  
  
  
  Client contected dev team directly, dev team have identified the
  root
  cause ? solution in the tag
  
  handler. To correct the behavior, client will need to provide
  the
  testfix.
  
  
  
  The manual work-around is to change the xsi:type of extended
  attribute
  from xsd:integer to xsd:int:Object.

  ****************************************************************
  When an extended attribute of type 'Integer' is created by
  using  JET tag, the type was set to incorrect value
  "xsd:integer". It should be set to correct type i.e.
  "xsd:int:Object".
  

Problem conclusion

• The  JET tag behavior is now adjusted such that when an
  extended attribute of type 'Integer' is created by using
  tag, the type will be set to correct type i.e.
  "xsd:int:Object".
