Problem summary

• Problem Description:
  BPM offers the functionality to post a message to the
  EventManager in order to start a UCA.
  This feature is documented on this page:
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v7r5mx/index.j
  sp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.wbpm.wle.editor.doc%2Fmodeling%2Ftopic%2Fsen
  ding_message_events.html
  
  The documentation specifies that message property
  snapshot="[snapshot_name]" can be set to select the snapshot in
  which the UCA should be started,
  but even if this property is specified, it is ignored and the
  UCA in the Tip is started.
  
  Problem Summary:
  The implementation of the method completely ignored the
  'snapshot' property
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix respects the message property and starts a UCA in the
  specified snapshot. If the UCA starts a BPD via start message
  event, the
  BPD is also started from the specified snapshot.
