IT08498: NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION DURING MAP COMPILATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling graphical data maps the following
  NullPointerException may be observed:
  
  BIP4395E: Java exception: 'java.lang.NullPointerException';
  thrown from class name: 'com.ibm.broker.map.MapExecutable',
  method name:
  'startCompilation', file: 'MapExecutable.java', line: '505'
  
  If maps are configured to be compiled during deployment this
  problem can result in a deploy failing.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 or IBM Integration
  Bus V9.0 or above using the Mapping Node.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When compiling graphical data maps the following
  NullPointerException may be observed:
  
  BIP4395E: Java exception: 'java.lang.NullPointerException';
  thrown from
  class name: 'com.ibm.broker.map.MapExecutable', method name:
  'startCompilation', file: 'MapExecutable.java', line: '505'
  
  If maps are configured to be compiled during deployment this can
  also result in a deploy failing. If maps are not configured to
  be compiled during deployment, flows may continue to work but
  you may see a performance degradation in the Mapping Node due to
  the use of interpreted maps.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

Problem conclusion

• The Mapping Node no longer throws a NullPointerException when
  compiling maps.
