Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Busiess Process Manager Advanced,           *
    *                  Standard and Express users working with     *
    *                  embedded sub-process BPDs.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Issues with the removal of              *
    *                      sub-process BPDs in certain             *
    *                      situations resulted in these            *
    *                      sub-process BPDs remaining in the       *
    *                      repository but inaccessible to users    *
    *                      to manually remove them. This APAR      *
    *                      provides a way to temporarily enable    *
    *                      a clean-up of these orphaned            *
    *                      sub-process BPDs within a process app.  *
    ****************************************************************

    ****************************************************************
    This change only provides the means to detect and delete
    orphaned sub-process BPDs. The following steps must be
    followed to use it.
    1. Edit the eclipse.ini in the Process Designer install
    directory and add:
    
    -DBPM_REMOVE_UNUSED_BPDS=true
    -Djava.util.logging.Level=ALL
    
    2. Start Process Designer.
    3. Open each Process App that you want to clean up and then
    edit and save a BPD. The save will trigger the detection and
    deletion of orphaned sub-process BPDs in the Process App.
    4. Stop Process Designer.
    5. Remove the lines added in step 1 from eclipse.ini. Do not
    leave this enabled. It may interfere with normal BPD editing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Provide a mechanism to delete sub-process BPDs that were not
    properly removed during normal editing. This is only effective
    on the tip and new snapshots. Existing snapshots will still
    have the affected sub-processes.
