Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of the IBM MQ v9.0.0 Managed File Transfer (MFT) embedded agent component included within IBM Integration Bus (IIB). Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The IBM MQ v9.0.0 Managed File Transfer (MFT) embedded agent running within an IBM Integration Bus (IIB) execution group could not be restarted due to a java.lang.NullPointerException that was thrown when generating a list of MQ component information to be written to the event log of an agent. This was because the product code that operated on the list of found MQ components expected at least one component to be found and did not expect a null value.
Problem conclusion
The IBM MQ Managed File Transfer (MFT) class used to write information to the agent's event log has been changed to handle the case when no MQ component information could be found, thus avoiding a java.lang.NullPointerException from being thrown. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.0 CD 9.0.5 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.3 The latest available MQ maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
