IC87764: ERRORS SEEN WHEN USING SERVICE DEPLOY AND SUBFLOWS

Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using Service Deploy to create a deployable .ear file from
  a
  project that uses a subflow that will be contained in a shared
  library
  the Service Deploy command will not be able to validate the
  subflow and
  will throw an error preventing the .ear from being built. The
  -ignoreErrors flag will bypass this but will ignore any other
  errors in
  the build too.
  

Local fix

• Using IgnoreErrors options in the command line
  

Problem summary

• A project can be designed to use a subflow in a mediation module
  but have the definition of the subflow contained in a shared
  library at runtime instead of the project's .ear file.
  Service Deploy, when creating the .ear file, would not check the
  shared libraries on the server which would mean it was unable to
  find the definition of the subflow which would result in an
  error. While this could be bypassed by using the -ignoreErrors
  flag this would also mean any other errors were ignored.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified to allow the Service Deploy command to
  find the subflow definition in a shared library on the server.
  
  This code fix was targeted to be included in the following fix
  packs:
  
  
  7.5.1 Fix Pack 2 (v7.5.1.2)
  8.0.1 Fix Pack 1 (v8.0.1.1)
