IT21320: MESSAGE INJECTED IN TO FLOW EXERCISER FAILS AND PUBLISH NODE NOTHIGHLIGHTED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When injecting a message in to the Flow Exerciser to be
  processed by a message flow that includes a Publish node, an
  error is thrown by this node because the topic is missing.
  The topic had previously been set by a Compute node.
  However, if the message is passed to the flow through an
  MQInput node then all works as expected.
  
  The issue is caused because the properties parser is overriding
  the topic value in the MQRFH2 header and as a result the Publish
  node doesn't see the topic. It is possible that the same issue
  could be seen with other properties - i.e. not just the topic
  property.
  
  A supplementary issue is that the Publish flow does not
  highlight the message path when using the Flow Exerciser
  

Local fix

• To avoid the message injection issue, remove the empty topic
  from the injected message.
