APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The initialisation order of message flow nodes is unspecified so a BIP3451 warning may occur if a SAPReply node attempts to start before any SAPInput node in the same flow has had a chance to start. Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s):
Local fix
Manually editing the .msgflow or .subflow file to ensure that the SAPReply node's definition appears after that of a SAPInput node, and that the unique ID for the SAPReply node is lexicographically after the unique ID for a SAPInput node should force the SAPInput node to start before the SAPReply node, but this is not guaranteed.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of the SAPInput and SAPReply nodes in IBM App Connect Enterprise v11. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The initialisation order of message flow nodes is unspecified so a BIP3451 warning may occur if a SAPReply node attempts to start before any SAPInput node in the same flow has had a chance to start. For example: BIP3451W: SAPReply node 'mySAPReplyNode' in message flow 'mySAPFlow' has been deployed to integration server 'myIS' that has no SAPInput node.A SAPReply node replies to a BAPI call that a SAPInput node receives. If no SAPInput node is present, a SAPReply node does not have a BAPI request to which to respond.The message flow will deploy but an error will be thrown if a message reaches the SAPReply node. Add a SAPInput node to a flow in this integration server and re-deploy. This message should only be issues if there are no SAPInput nodes in the same flow.
Problem conclusion
The BIP3451 warning will now only be issued by a SAPReply node if there are no SAPInput nodes registered after every message flow node has been initialized. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v11.0 11.0.0.8 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006041 If the maintenance level is not yet available,information on its planned availability can be found on: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006308 ---------------------------------------------------------------
