IT16876: IF A MAPPING NODE PARSES AN INVALID INPUT MESSAGE THEN THIS CAN CAUSE AN ABEND.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a message flow processes an input message, by default it
  uses partial parsing.  When such an input message is propagated
  to a mapping node then it is possible the Mapping node will
  need to parse the message.  If the input message is invalid
  then the integration server may abend.
  

Local fix

• The problem can be worked around by discovering the message is
  invalid before the Mapping node. For example, this can be done
  by setting the input node parse timing to Immediate/Complete
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus v10.0 with a message flow using
  the default parse timing (partial parsing) in an input node, as
  well as a Mapping node that will require the input message to be
  parsed.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When an input message is propagated to a Mapping node, then it
  is possible it will need to parse the message for the first time
  in the message flow.  If the input message is invalid then the
  integration server may abend.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product no longer abends when a Mapping node parses an
  invalid message.
