IT13582: MSGFLOW WITH UDN INPUT NODE NESTED IN SUBFLOWS NOT INPUTTABLE

IBM Integration Toolkit version 9.0 Fix Pack 6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Top-level message flows that contain nested subflows with a UDN
  Input node in the innermost subflow are not marked as
  inputtable. If the top-level message flow is in an integration
  project, it does not appear in the BAR editor as a selectable
  resource.
  
  This problem occurs if the top-level message flow, the nested
  subflows and the UDN Input nodes are each in separate projects.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Toolkit who have a message flow
  that contains no Input node, but instead contains a nested
  subflow with a UDN Input node in the innermost subflow, and all
  the flows are each in a different project.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The Toolkit does not correctly resolve to the UDN.msgnode if the
  top-level message flow F1 includes S1 which includes S2 which
  includes UDN,
  F1 -> S1 -> S2 -> UDN (where the UDN is defined as an input
  node),
  if the all the flows are each in a different projects, for
  example,
  P1/F1.msgflow
  P2/S1.msgflow
  P3/S2.msgflow
  P4/UDN.msgnode (UDN Input node)
  
  The top-level message flow is not marked as inputtable. In
  addition, if the top-level message flow is in an integration
  project, it does not appear in the BAR editor as a resource that
  can be included in the Bar file.
  
  The reason is that although P1 has references to P2, P3 and P4,
  the code to resolve the nested flows for an input node uses only
  the project where the flow is.  As a result, P2/S1 is unable to
  resolve P3/S2 and P3/S2 is unable to resolve P4/UDN.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product now correctly finds all the input nodes from the
  top-level message flow and correctly marks the message flow as
  inputtable.
