Added activity ID to work unit thread name

Work unit thread names have been changed to include more information.

Work unit thread names are currently in this format: LMRKPA-DataArea-WorkUnit-[optional Landmark information-]NanoTime

In order to make troubleshooting easier, work unit thread names have been changed to this format: LMRKPA-DataArea-WorkUnit-ActivityName-[optional Landmark information-]NanoTime

If no Activity Node is currently running, ActivityName will be NA (No Activity).

This minor change does not have any impact on the processing done by the system.

Field validation changes to IPA Cross Reference data

These field validation changes have been made to IPA Cross Reference data:
  • If the data is being imported by IPA Dispatcher, which is automated and requires no customer change, the Source and Destination fields of Cross Reference Values will not be validated.
  • If the data is being imported by the dataimport command line program and the Create action is used, the Source and Destination fields of Cross Reference Values will not be validated. No customer changes are required, but if customers are manually using dataimport, this behavior should be noted.
  • If the Web UI or Rich Client is being used to create Cross Reference Values, Source and Destination field validation is optional, based on a Configuration Parameter which can be accessed from Applications > Administration Console > Other > System Configuration Parameters > All.
    Component
    ipa
    Predefined Name Key
    CrossReferenceValidationEnabled

    At this point, most of the fields will be automatically filled in.

    If Source and Destination field validation is desired, set the Value to true; otherwise, set it to false. If the record does not exist, the default value is false.
