Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.0.0       *
  *                  Advanced, Standard, and Express             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Because java.text.DateFormatSymbols     *
  *                      has a writeObject method of its own,    *
  *                      serialization framework in migration    *
  *                      code needs the special handler to       *
  *                      handle this object.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When you migrate to IBM BPM V8.5.0.0, the DBUpgrade command
  tries to update the BPD instance or task data. You might see
  the "custom handler required for java.text.DateFormatSymbols"
  exception if you used java.text.DateFormatSymbols as the type
  for some business items when designing process models.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available that adds a handler for
  java.text.DateFormatSymbols object so that the serialization
  code in the migration can find the expected handler.
