JR49126: PE - Issue with getting the proper snapshot context for APIs used in a toolkit.

Download Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 3 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• APIs used in a toolkit service do not get the proper versioning
  context when executed as part of a process app. This leads to
  improper behavior for the APIs used in the services.
  
  A discrepancy in the solution for JR46006 (aka JR47764 on
  8.0.1.1), between 8.0.1.1 and 8.0.1.2 causes the issue to still
  be present in 8.0.1.2
  
  
  For example, the value of an environment variable which is
  fetched in a toolkit using javascript may not provide the
  proper value. It should be providing the value set for the
  related process app where it is executed. Although since it
  uses the wrong context the default value is provided instead.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Toolkit specific variables are not resolved correctly at run
  time.
  
  AFFECTED EDITIONS:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.0.1 Advanced, Standard and
  Express
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  If a process app references a toolkit and then supplies a
  specific value for a toolkit variable, this value will not be
  used at run time.  Instead the original value of the toolkit
  variable will be used.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix for IBM BPM 8.0.1.2 is available that uses the correct
  (Root) snapshot ID when retrieving the variable values.
