Error description

• This APAR fixes the following issues.

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  This APAR contains fixes for 2 distinct problems
  1) If a message flow containing a manufacturing input node was
  stopped (mqsistopmsgflow) and then restarted (mqsistartmsgflow),
  the message flow was not restarted correctly and would not
  processes any input messages. The application needed to be
  redeployed or the integration server restarted in order for the
  message flow to resume processing messages.
  2) The 'Properties' folder of an input message received by
  manufacturing input node was not populated with the correct
  defaults for the Encoding and CodedCharSetId properties. These
  properties should be populated with defaults from the
  Integration Server.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1) When the Manufacturing Input Node was running and then
  stopped, it failed to update it's internal state to stopped. A
  subsequent start request then took no action as it believed the
  Input Node was already running running when in-fact it was not.
  The solution was to correctly change the internal state to
  stopped when the message flow is stopped.
  2) The node framework, upon which the manufacturing pack nodes
  are built, was incorrectly initializing the Properties folder
  for each message received. This logic was changed to extract the
  correct defaults from the Integration Server when building the
  Properties folder.
