IT33407: JSONSYNTAXEXCEPTION IN TRANSFORMATION ADVISOR IF BAR FILE IS NOTDEPLOYABLE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A JsonSyntaxException error may occur when using the
  TADataCollector tool against a BAR file that is not
  independently deployable. The TADataCollector tool can only be
  run against a complete BAR file that contains all the necessary
  components to deploy, but not necessarily start, the
  applications and message flows therein.
  
  This error occurs
  because the TADataCollector tool is not correctly detecting
  this error and so attempts to parse a JSON error message as a
  JSON success message.
  

Local fix

• Ensure that any BAR file to be analysed by TADataCollector can
  be deployed successfully independent of any other BAR files.
  This can be tested by attempting to deploy the BAR file to an
  empty IntegrationServer.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of the Transformation Advisor in IBM App Connect
  Enterprise v11.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When the Transformation Advisor is given a BAR file to analyse
  which does not contain all the necessary artifacts needed to
  deploy the contained resources, such as missing shared
  libraries, the data collector tool will fail with a
  JsonSyntaxException.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Transformation Advisor data collector tool will now fail
  with an appropriate error message informing users that a
  complete BAR file must be deployed.
