APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A stub created (or modified) in the test editor and given a
  timeout cannot be run.  The error is:
  
  [28/10/2014 08:39:23.400] [Warning] This Stub is being executed
  in IBM Rational Integration Tester, and will run for a maximum
  of 5 minutes.
  [28/10/2014 08:38:30.172] [Error] [CRRIT8113E] Compilation
  Failed
  [28/10/2014 08:39:23.400] [Error] Message Switch:to file
  "%%PROJECT/ROOT%%\input.txt" timeout 12345.0ms via "file"
  Message Switch to file "%%PROJECT/ROOT%%\input.txt" timeout
  12345.0ms via "file": [CRRIT8838E] Timeout must be a valid
  number! Use '0' to indicate no timeout.
  

Local fix

• This can be worked around by:
  - close the stub in Test Factory,
  - open the ".stb" file in a text editor,
  - search for regular expression timeout="\d+\.0"
  - and remove the .0
  - before saving from the text editor
  - and running the stub.

Problem conclusion

• A fix for this issue was provided in version 8.7.0 of Rational
  Integration Tester.  The timeout field incorrectly accepted
  double values, creating a decimal point for integer values.
