PH03547: WEBUI MAY FAIL TO SHOW MESSAGE FLOW PROPERTIES IF A FLOW ONLY HAS KEYWORD PROPERTIES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Certain flows that have been migrated from old versions of WMB
  may be configured to have keyword properties but no standard
  flow properties.
  This can cause the following error to appear in admin agent
  trace:
  Integration Registry error:
  classname:org.apache.wink.server.internal.RequestProcessor.
  methodname: handleRequest. level: SEVERE. Error message: An
  unhandled exception occurred which will be propagated to the
  container.
  Integration Registry error:
  classname:org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.
  methodname: invoke. level: SEVERE. Error message:
  Servlet.service() for servlet [BrokerRestAPI] in context with
  path [/apiv1] threw exception
  java.lang.NullPointerException 00242000
     at
  com.ibm.broker.admin.responseObject.ImbPropertiesObject.<init>(I
  mbPropertiesObject.java:177)
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus v10 who have flows migrated
  from older versions of WebSphere Message Broker or MQSeries
  Integrator which have keyword properties but no standard
  properties.	
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The web admin REST API assumes that all message flows that have
  keyword properties also have standard properties. This is not
  necessarily the case for flows that have been migrated from old
  versions of the product without being updated.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product now correctly handles the case of a message flow
  with keyword properties but no standard properties.
