HD#: 65647, 64790, 64846, 64800, 65780, 64896, 64731, 64829 The release of RPC Broker patch XWB*1.1*35 exposed that NOIS was making use of a undocumented side effect of how the Broker was returning GLOBAL ARRAYS to the client. The broker made a change to be more consistent with its documentation causing NOIS to break. The issue is any data on the root node of the global. This data was sent and then the data from the next node was sent with out the separator that follows every other global node. Fix: A change to how the global is setup for returning data from NOIS fixes the problem. Be sure that you have patch FSC*1.1*1 installed. It fixes an issue with Alerts and NOIS.
