CR number | Description |
24521 | When using the ODA, the PackageName property must be a single word, with no punctuation or spaces. For example, "Test" or "Samples" is acceptable; however, "com.ibm.adapters.MQProxy" is not. This is due to a limitation in BIA_COMProxy.dll |
When using the ODA, the JarFileName property cannot be "comx.jar", where x is a number from 0 to 9. For example, com2.jar is not acceptable. This is due to a limitation in the Java JDK. |
