APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An SDO DataObject may return the wrong ChangeSummary instance
  after being moved, if the move requires the addition of an
  xsi:type attribute. This could result in changes not being
  logged properly.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of the SDO API in IBM WebSphere       *
  *                  Application Server V8.0 and WebSphere       *
  *                  Process Server                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SDO DataObject may return incorrect     *
  *                      ChangeSummary after move                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a DataObject d is a member of a tree which has a change
  summary element, d.getChangeSummary() will return the
  ChangeSummary instance for that tree. If d is subsequently
  moved to another tree with a change summary element,
  d.getChangeSummary() may then incorrectly return null rather
  than the ChangeSummary instance of the destination tree. This
  could cause unexpected behavior in user applications.
  

Problem conclusion

• DataObjects now correctly inherit ChangeSummary instances when
  moved into a destination tree with a change summary element.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.3. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
