Closed as program error.
Error description
If a CICSRequest Node is deployed which references a policy with a missing gatewayURL property then the following errors may occur: BIP4367E: The method 'onSetup' in Java node 'NodeName' has thrown the following exception: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: begin 0, end -1, length 0. The method 'onSetup' of the Java node has thrown an exception. Examine previous error messages for details of the cause of the problem. This error is generated by the Java node API. It can occur in a Java Compute node or a Java user-defined node. If the node is a user-defined node, contact the node provider for further details. BIP4395E: Java exception: 'java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException'; thrown from class name: 'java.lang.String', method name: 'substring', file: 'String.java', line: '2744' The message contains that data associated with a Java exception. No user action required. This may happen during migration from previous versions of IBM Integration Bus where the default value for the gatewayURL property was treated as the empty string.
Local fix
Modify the policy to set the value 'local:' in the gateway URL property
