ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
If the String attribute is "unset" it should not try to be      
mapped.

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server users using
DataMaps and trying to map an unset string
attribute to integer.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
NumberFormatException thrown by
DataMap when mapping source dataobject
with unset string attribute to
integer attribute in the target
dataobject.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

NumberFormatException thrown by DataMap when mapping source
dataobject with unset string attribute to integer attribute in
the target dataobject. This error occurs because DataMap did
not check if attributes are unset on the source dataobject or
not.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Modified Map code to check DataObject has attributes set by     
calling isSet() SDO API. In case attributes are not set,        
mapping of the attribute is not performed. This fix is done     
for Move, Join, and Split transforms of Map.
