PI41552: TIMEOUTNOTIFICATION NODE DEPLOYED WITH BLANK UNIQUEIDENTIFIER CAN PROCESS REQUESTS FROM OTHER TIMEOUTNOTIFICATION NODES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a TimeoutNotification Node is deployed with a blank
  uniqueIdentifier then it can process timeout requests from other
  TimeoutNotification nodes.
  
  The toolkit will stop flows from being deployed that have an
  empty uniqueIdentifier set but you can still override the
  property via overrides (e.g mqsiapplybaroverride).
  
  This APAR will change the runtime to throw an error if a the
  TimeoutNotification node has an empty uniqueIdentifier.
  

Local fix

• Do not override the TimeoutNotification Node
  with an empty uniqueIdentifier.
