XML responses should be sanitized to provide valid XML

Current Situation

• A user starts a telnet session to send XML commands to JobScheduler. If this session is used for a longer time, ca. 5 min., then some characters are sent to JobScheduler by the telnet application without user interaction.
• JobScheduler retains a status information that contains the characters that have previously been sent by telnet and that are contained in an error message. Such characters are not allowed in XML responses and are considered illegal.
• The status information with illegal XML characters is returned to JOC when responding to a <show_status> command. JOC denies to process invalid XML and therefore becomes unavailable for JobScheduler control.

Workaround

• Restart JobScheduler.

Desired Behavior

• JobScheduler should sanitize XML responses to provide valid XML.
