- Review the Flashes and open Authorized Problem Analysis Reports (APARs) on the Financial Transaction Manager product support Web site: http://www.ibm.com/software/industry/financial-transaction-manager/support
Open APARs describe defects that are not yet addressed in a fix, and they might contain workarounds that will impact your use of FTM.

FTM(with Oracle) users may experience the following issues when using the Multi Row Insert(MRI) function :

"ORA-00932 inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got TIMESTAMP"
"ORA-01400 cannot insert NULL into ()"

This issue is a known Oracle issue - reference Oracle bug # 9648430.

Resolution :

Apply the Oracle fix.

If an Oracle fix is not available for your version of Oracle then a workaround is to disable MRI in FTM as follows:

Category  Key             Value
CORE      MRI_EM2_ENABLED N
For additional details about the Database Persistence API configuration, see the following section in the Knowledge Center for Financial Transaction Manager, Version 3.2.2 :
Financial Transaction Manager -> Application programming -> Actions -> Database Persistence -> API configuration

Issue 9

Users Affected : Customers using FTM SWIFT WTX maps with Financial Payments Pack for SWIFT v9.0.1.

Summary :

FTM SWIFT SR2016 WTX maps will not work with FTM SWIFT SR2015 WTX maps at a single broker instance together at the same time.

The reason is that IBM Transformation Extender has changed the JVCWrapper code with the new Financial Payments Pack for SWIFT 9.0.1 release and it is not compatible with the earlier Pack for SWIFT releases.

Resolution :

Therefore using multiple Pack for SWIFT versions at the same time in a specific instance of a program is not supported.
