  ****************************************************************
  Upon attempting to execute a SAP Web test the user was
  presented with a code generation error (Fatal error
  translating the element). This prevented test execution from
  occurring.  The user would also incur errors in the UI if
  they clicked on pages that had xml escaping in them.  This
  xml escaping led to bad name creation which created
  problems.
  
  There was also a problem with the correlation of the URI
  that led to overlapping data correlations which would lead
  to malformed URI at execution time if both substitutions
  were correlated with a reference.
  

Problem conclusion

• Users with xml escaping in the SAP Web tests will now be
  able to create, view, and execute the test correctly.
  
  The data correlation now correctly correlates the URI and
  accounts for a new SAP Web id called the esid.
  

Temporary fix
