Error description

  • In the PAC configuration files, spaces cause the current
    stanza being processed to be reset. After this change, lines
    starting with a space are ignored unless the environment
    variable CP_PAC_RESET_STANZA_WITH_SP is set.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Spaces in PAC configuration files       *
    *                      causes stanzas to be reset              *
    *                      unintentionally.                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Remove any spaces leading directives in     *
    *                  PAC config files that are unnecessary.      *
    ****************************************************************
    In the PAC configuration files, spaces cause the current
    stanza being processed to be reset.
    

Problem conclusion

  • IBM Caching Proxy was changed to ignore leading spaces instead
    of reseting the stanza. To revert to the old behavior, users
    should set the environment variable
    'CP_PAC_RESET_STANZA_WITH_SP' to any value.
    
    This fix is targeted for IBM Caching Proxy fix packs:
     - 9.0.0.10
     - 8.5.5.15
