• In the HPEL API implementation of a class for remote repository
  reading, thread IDs were incorrectly converted to strings as
  decimal values whereas the server side expects them to be in
  hexadecimal format.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM WebSphere Application          *
  *                  Server reading remote log repository via    *
  *                  High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL)  *

  *                      filtering while reading a remote log    *
  *                      repository can produce incorrect        *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  HPEL API implementation incorrectly converts thread IDs to
  strings as a decimal value whereas the server expects these
  strings to be in hexadecimal format. This results in filtering
  on an incorrect thread ID when its value is bigger than 9.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix corrects the integer to string conversion used in HPEL
  API methods accepting thread ID as a parameter.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
