IT25306: NULL POINT EXCEPTION MESSAGE BUILDING A MAP FILE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A null pointer exception message is logged to standard out when
  calling mqsicreabebar.
  This does not stop the bar file file from being built but we
  should not log an NPE.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Toolkit V10.0 and App Connect
  Enterprise V11.0. using the mqsicreatebar command
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Linux on x86-64 platform, Windows on x86-64 platform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If the user has defined an element that is unresolved in the
  output but not wired to a transform the
  user will see a null pointer exception message when using the
  mqsicreatebar command.
  The bar file is built correctly but we should not log a NPE.
  
  The same applies to the toolkit when building but the user would
  not see it since it goes to the .log file.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product no longer shows a NPE when calling mqsicreatebar.
