    Hi,
    I have a sample working on Windows with WTX and Message Broker, and now I want to run the same sample on z/OS. It seams the set up is correct, WTC + MSB but when I runs the sample in the <Trace><Node> file I get:
    ...
    ...
    <539-370592928>: Bitsteam generated successfully.
    <539-370592928>: Running DTX map '/u/dtxuser/dtx/maps/Validate.mvs'...
    <539-370592928>: DTX library not loaded, loading...
    <539-370592928>: DTX library loaded successfully.
    <539-370592928>: Output Card No: 1
    <539-370592928>: *ERR: RunMap failed - One or more inputs was invalid (8)
    <539-370592928>: *ERR: in _RunMercator (-1001)
    <539-370592928>: Message processing failed.
    ...
    ...
    What is the meaning of the "*ERR: RunMap failed - One or more inputs was invalid (8)"
    Thanks for your help

    In "Command Server" manual there is this pharagraph:

    "After transferring a platform-specific built map, it is strongly recommended that you rename the compiled map by using the .mmc file extension. Renaming it is not necessary; however, it is helpful because an .mmc extension identifies the file name in mapping functions and the renamed map can be executed without specifying the extension."

    My map is called "Validate.mvs", I'll rename it to mmc. Tomorrow I'll post the result.

    I'm going to have to second what jahness says and say that the map is running correctly, it's finding the library, but the data it's retrieving is not comforming to the structure in the type tree. You can turn the trace of the map on for the input, re-deploy, stop/start through managment console and view the ".mtr" file.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I tried the "theory" about renaming the map to .mmc, but still the same error. I'm attaching the node.log file a the validate.mtr file.
    It seems there are a mismatching between data in the node.log and validate.mtr.
    The data is an mq message, created with a windows application, and routed to a local queue in z/OS, them the broker flows reads this queue and calls the map.

    The error message means what it says. Your input data is invalid for the type tree. Is the data on Z/OS in a different format to Windows?

    I solved my problem, changing the delimeter from LF to #. This was a bypass, I need to understand the character translations between Windows and zOS.
    Thanks for the help.
