JR41381: A web service request sent from BPM is rejected by the remote web service if message element has maxOccurs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A web service integration within a business process model
  sends a message to a remote vendor's web service.
  The remote web service rejects the message because it
  does not match the wsdl describing the web service.
  
  The error from the remote web service is
  unpredictable because it depends on the vendor's Application
  Server, vendor's web service stack and validation checking.
  
  This error only occurs if the message being sent contains
  elements that are defined with the maxOccurs attribute or if
  elements are defined with anonymous types.

Problem conclusion

• Members of the web service and xml schema team discovered
  several problems related to array and anonymous type
  xml serialization.  These problems appear to be the caused by
  new code added in version 7.5.1.   The problems did not occur
  in version 7.5.0.1.
  
  The team verified that the the new xml serialized instances
  match the web service schema.   Additional validation tests
  were added to verify correctness.
  
  The fix is available as a part of the JR42012 ifix package
  (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1JR42012)
  and needs to be installed as follows:
  - Install JR42012 on both Process Designer and Process
  Center/Server using IM
  - On Process Center/Server run bpmprofileUpgrade as outlined in
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27022245#recove
