Error description

  • Enabling tracking of a variable with no default value results in
    exception CWLLG2041E being written to the logs.
    CWLLG2041E occurs frequently enough that customer has difficulty
    debugging more serious errors.
    Here is the stack trace generated in the logs:
     E   CWLLG2041E:  TeamWorksJavaScriptException created
    non-nested.   Error: [TeamworksException name='TypeError',
    message='TypeError: Cannot read property "subBusinessObject"
    from undefined (<JSScript>#1)', line=1, pos=0 nested=<none>]
                                     [TeamworksException

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  User invoking exposed BPD variables with no *
    *                  default values.                             *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When executing BPDs which has exposed   *
    *                      variables that are not intialized       *
    *                      with a default value, error messages    *
    *                      accumulate in the logs.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The frequent logging of these error messages causes logs files
    to fill up and will eventually cause system logs to overwrite
    each other; possibly losing valuable tracing that may help in
    identifying other issues.
    

Problem conclusion

  • In order for the customer to avoid frequent logged exceptions
    from showing up, customer can add a configuration property
    "log-tracked-loudly" into 100Custom.xml, to enable or disable
    the logging.
    When property "log-tracked-loudly" is set to false, it is the
    default behavior of writing the exception to the log as an
    error (SEVERE).
    When property "log-tracked-loudly" is set to true, it disables
    this default behavior. Instead, it writes the exception to
    the log only if the logging level is set to FINE. Since the
    default logging level is INFO, these FINE logged exceptions
    should not appear in log files.
    
    This iFix is available on BPM v8.0.1.1.
    It can be download from Fix Central. Installation instruction
    including setting the "log-tracked-loudly" property can be
    found in the README file, which can be downloaded together
    with the iFix file.
