  ****************************************************************
  When DFHPIPL processes XML elements in the pipeline
  configuration file and a <wsse_handler> element is found then
  the processing logic will cause any elements beyond it not to
  be processed. This means that the <terminal_handler> element
  is not processed and in turn the pipelines will not be
  installed. The message DFHPI0720 will be issued.
  
  Additional Keywords: MSGDFHPI0720
  

Problem conclusion

• UK18238
  DFHPIPL has been changed to correctly step forward to the next
  element in the pipeline configuration file once a <wsse_handler>
  element has been processed.
