Rational Performance Test Server 9.1.1
Rational Test Virtualization Server 9.1.1
Rational Integration Tester 9.1.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Create and run a stub for a CICS Distributed Program Link (DPL)
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS
  
  Stub should process request as soon as agent sends HTTP post
  
  
  ACTUAL RESULTS:
  
  Stub does not begin processing request until at least 1 second
  after agent sends HTTP post
  
  The HTTP post from the agent to the stub was being retried due
  to the contents of the HTTP 'Expect:' header, causing a delay in
  the stub receiving the request from the agent. The 'Expect:'
  header needs to be cleared out in order to prevent the retry of
  the HTTP post.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  None
