Closed as program error.
Error description
The problem is that in 8011, the BPD is started based on processAppId and bpdId. There is no track/snapshot passed on the start action that specifies which track's tip to execute. When you start a BPD from a certain snapshot, the snapshotid is correctly passed. The TIP start problem was fixed in 8.5 by having Portal use the startURL from the exposed REST response. In both 8011 and 8500, the startURL appears correct in the REST response. In 8011, Portal is not using the startURL but should.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of BPM Express, BPM Standard, and * * BPM Advanced. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In Process Portal, clicking on an * * exposed service can result in an * * archived snapshot for the service * * being launched instead of the active * * snapshot. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The Process Portal code is not using the 'startURL' attribute returned by REST services against the query for exposed items.
Problem conclusion
Using the startURL attribute returned by REST services resolves the issue. An interim fix for Business Process Manager Version 8.0.1.1 has been published to Fix Central. Please refer to the separate file that is automatically downloaded with the interim fix for prerequisite information and installation/uninstallation instructions.
