Problem: Subject of Email sent by logError() is not easy to read. Fixed in this Fix Pack

4.2.1.1

Problem solved: With CR we are reducing the size of xml that is sent to WMQI. This is done by compressing the namespaces in the bo xml document. This is a configurable behavior. Standalone connectors that want to use it need to configure a property "XMLNameSpaceFormat" and set its string value to "short" (without the quotes of course). They can add this property to the app specific property in the connector config file with the help of Conn Designer.


If this property has value "long" or if the property is absent then current behavior of long namespaces is the default.

 

short XMLNameSpaceFormat is supported only with RFH2MessageDomain standard property set to 'xml'. When RFH2MessageDomain is set to 'mrm', only long XMLNameSpaceFormat is supported.
