Description

 5.5.1

BGTRK00036011

When using the Generate Template functionality, if a Hierarchical BO in which a child BO item is of the same type as that of the parent is used, the adapter goes into an endless loop. This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.1

BGTRK00037132

A NullPointerException was getting thrown when the "OutputDir" was configured as a remote directory and the property "FTPKeepConnectionOpen" was set to "true". This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.1

BGTRK00043996

When the remote FTP server restarts JText was giving an "Unable to access directory" error message. This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.1

BGTRK00046499

JText did not archive more than one file that matched the "FTPEventFileMask" property in a PDS system. This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.1

BGTRK00046569

JText did not archive files when the "FTPArchiveDir" and "FTPRenameExt" properties were specified for a SDS system. This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.1

BGTRK00046570

When a same input file is added to the events folder in SDS , during the second poll the file was not archived or overwriten over the already existing archived file.This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.1

BGTRK00058811

When the "StagingDir" property is set to a remote FTP location, JText did not start up properly . This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00043748

When the MO property 'DataEncoding' is not appropriate to read the contents of the input file JText throws a sun.io.MalformedInputException and goes into an infinite loop. This defect has been fixed

 5.5.2

BGTRK00043996

The JText adapter would not re-establish the connection during polling when the MO property FTPKeepConnectionOpen=true and the FTP server gets restarted. The problem was found to occur only with the client's FTP server. The same has been recified by handling an additional exception that was being thrown specially by the client's FTP server.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00058603

During event polling if a file is marked as damaged in the first run it would continue to be marked as damaged in the subsequent runs too. Intermittently the CPU usage shows 100% utilization. This defect has been fixed.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00058667

JText included the EndBODelimiter in the archive file irrespective of whether the MO property IncludeEndBoDelimiter was set to true or false. Now JText will write the EndBODelimiter to the archive file only if the MO property IncludeEndBODelimiter is set to true.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00059536

JText adapter hangs intermittently during remote polling from an FTP server. The test fix addresses some of the possible causes of connector hanging problem during FTP polling.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00059628

The JText connector logs into the FTP server every PollFrequency cycle instead of every (PollFrequency * FTPPollFrequency) cycle when similarly named MOs were used. This defect has been fixed.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00060332

Certain properties in the JText adapter template were not editable. This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00060312

After restarting from a termination, the JText adapter stops polling for events, and the CPU usage goes to 100%.The problem has been rectified. (This is a Carlsberg critsit CR)

 5.5.2

BGTRK00060312/58945

After running the JText adapter, which does FTP polling and FTP request processing concurrently, with FTPConnectionOpen = true, the adapter starts throwing exceptions after a few successful runs.The problem was due to FTP connection sharing by two different threads, the poll thread and the request thread. The problem has been rectified by allocating different connections to the poll and request threads from the connection pool. The fix also includes improvements on FTP error handling for FTPKeepConnectionOpen=true.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00060465

Enhancement for sorting files based on file names. For this a connector-specific property SortFilesOnFileName need to be set to true. Currently this sorting mechanism is supported only for local and FTP file system and not for MVS system.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00060402

When JText adapter crashes during processing of an event file which contains multiple BOs, during adapter startup all the events which were posted before the crash were getting reposted. This problem has been fixed.

 5.5.2

BGTRK00060621

During event processing of the JText adapter, NumberFormatException was thrown during archiving. This problem has been rectified.
