IT11579: NULL SHARED-CLASSES DIRECTORY CREATED IN WORKPATH

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On start up, an integration server will create a directory in
  the workpath as follows:
  
  /var/mqsi/config/{brokerName}/{egLabel}/shared-classes
  
  This directory can be used to store JAR files that will be
  loaded into the integration server wide class loader by that
  integration server, and that integration server only.
  
  The code for creating this directory is accidentally being run
  from other components.
  
  Because these components are not integration servers, and have
  no {egLabel}, a "null"
  
  directory is created as follows:
  /var/mqsi/config/{brokerName}/null/shared-classes
  

Local fix

• No local fix is available.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V10.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When the integration node processes bipbroker or biphttplistener
  start, they can create a directory named "null" in the product
  workpath. The directory "null" contains another directory named
  "shared-classes". This directory is being created by code that
  should only be run in the integration server process
  DataFlowEngine. The code is intended to create a per-integration
  server "shared-classes" directory for storing JAR files for the
  use of that integration server, but there are no checks in place
  to stop it running in other processes. The presence of the
  directory does not cause any issues, but it should not be
  created and can be safely deleted.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

  tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been altered so that it only creates integration
  server specific "shared-classes" directories in the integration
  server process DataFlowEngine, and is not executed elsewhere.
