IT28789: ADAPTERCLASSLOADER NOT INITIALISED FOR IDOC GATEWAY PATTERN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It is possible to deploy flows which parse SAP Idocs using the
  DataObject parser in an Integration Server that does not contain
  any adapter components.
  In these circumstances the AdapterClassLoader is not correctly
  initialized and when processing a message the following error
  will occur:
  2019-03-28 13:44:46.897088Z: [Thread 180] (Msg 4/4) BIP4395E:
  Java exception:'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError'; thrown from
  class name: 'com.ibm.j2ca.sap.records.SAPParseRecord', method
  method name: 'getNext',file: 'SAPParseRecord.java', line: '187'
  Examining service trace will show that the missing class is
  JCOException.
  
  The service trace will also show that the jarsURL is being set
  to a null value:
  
  MbAdapterDirector.loadAdapterExternalResourceFilesForSAP,
  'setting 'adapterExternalResourceJarsURLs' to ', ''
