JR49486: UNABLE TO JUMP TO AN ACTIVITY WITH AN IMPLICIT HANDLER

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 5 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The problem occurs when you attempt to jump from an activity to
  an invoke activity with an implicit handler (fault or
  compensation handler), using e.g. the "skipAndJump" API
  function. Both activities are in the same sequence or
  generalized flow, so the jump should be allowed.  However,
  calling the jump API results in  the following exception:
  CWWBE0167E: A jump from activity XXXXX to activity XXXXX is not
  supported
  
  com.ibm.bpe.api.EngineUnsupportedJumpException:CWWBE0167E: A
  jump from activity XXXX to activity XXXXX is not supported
