We recently upgraded our MB env (Broker, ConfigMgr, Toolkit) from V5.01 to V6 . In V5, we were running with a TCPIP plugin node without any problems. The upgrade went fine and things are running well except the few flows we have with the TCPIP plugin nodes. I added the jar to the <install path>/jplugin directory as in the instructions and started and stopped the broker as well as added the necessary folder to my toolkit directory. Everything with the toolkit is working fine (you can see the plugin nodes, alter properties and save the flows) but I get an error when I try to deploy the flows with the TCPIP node. I installed the APAR IY77292 to help with this which it did but I am getting this is error when I try to deploy to the broker:
BIP4395E: Java exception: 'java.lang.NumberFormatException'; thrown from class name: 'java.lang.NumberFormatException', method name: 'forInputString', file: 'NumberFormatException.java', line: '-3'
The message contains that data associated with a Java exception.
No user action required.
BIP4368S: The method 'setAttribute' has thrown the following exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "".
The Java API framework has caught an unhandled Java exception.
Contact the node provider for further details.
I have used the previous version of the TCPIP node that was running and the most current and I still get the same error when I try to deploy. I am guessing this has something to do with the setup of the new broker in environment variables but just not sure what to do now. In my .profile I am referencing the <install dir>/bin/mqsiprofile file provided for environment variables. Please help when you have time.
Thanks,

First, please don't TRIPLE POST.
Is this the latest version of IA98? V1.2 has been updated for Broker V6

Sorry for the triple post, but I was getting an error when I posted so I did not think it went through.
Yes, I am trying the latest version of IA98. |

Did you set all required properties on the node in your flow?
Are you sure you didn't set a numeric property to an empty value?

| I have not changed the node properties or flow after I issued the mqsimigratecomponents command to bring the flows from V5 to V6. After comparing the old versus new properties of the node from other environments they are the same. Any other ideas? Please help. |

Maybe its time to drop John an e-mail... his IBM userid is in the PDF file.

| This may be unrelated to your problem but we encountered problems with default property settings not being picked up for a user-defined plugin, although this was with Toolkit FP 6.0.0.1. If you look at 'broker.xml' in the .bar file you will see the property values that are being used. We found that we needed to overtype the property settings in the .bar config tab for them to be picked up. |

| A few things fixed my problem. First of all; John Reeves (who wrote the update on the plug-in node) advised me to remove and add the plugin node back in with the latest version of the toolkit. Basically since the flow was migrated to V6 and I installed the latest TCP/IP version but the actual nodes in the flow were stuck at the old version. I needed add the nodes back in with the version 1.2.0.0 TCPIP plugin nodes with the V6 toolkit. Second of all, I also had to fill in a value in the TcpipClientInput node for the "Message Size" value. That is was blank in our V5 version but I guess with the updates it is looking for that to be populated. Thank you for all your suggestions on this topic; it was unusual. |

I received the same error.
on investigation it was found that,"Encoding Size" if not required should be set to "zero".this solved the issue
