APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After you run the BPMSnapshotCleanup command to remove unnamed
  snapshots, you can no longer save artifacts in IBM Process
  Designer in a process app or toolkit that has advanced content.
  
  After you run the BPMSnapshotCleanup command to remove unnamed
  snapshots, you can no longer receive updates in IBM Integration
  Designer from Process Center when you select "Refresh and
  Publish" for a project.
  

Local fix

• Edit the LSW_SCA_CONNECTOR table of the BPMDB database and
  put the value outOfSync in the LAST_SYNCHRONIZED column for the
  Advanced Integration service that is affected. The existing
  value is the ID of an unnamed snapshot that has been deleted.
  Then, in IBM Integration Designer, delete the process app or
  toolkit from the workspace and reload it by selecting the "Open
  in workspace" link.
  

Problem summary

• The BPMSnapshotCleanup command removed unnamed snapshots from
  the database. Advanced Integration services store the ID of an
  unnamed snapshot in the LSW_SCA_CONNECTOR database table to
  indicate when the snapshot was last synchronized with its
  implementation in Integration Designer. Furthermore, this
  unnamed snapshot ID is stored in your preferences in Integration
   Designer to indicate when the project was last synchronized
  with Process Center. Removing the unnamed snapshots from the
  database causes exceptions to be thrown when Process Designer or
   Integration Designer attempts to load the unnamed snapshot.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for Process Designer and Integration Designer
   in IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 and V8.5.0.1. With the interim fix applied,
   the Advanced Integration services of unnamed snapshots that
  have been deleted are marked in Process Designer as being out of
   sync. In addition, a full comparison of the artifacts (from the
   tip) instead of a delta comparison (from the last synchronized
  snapshot) is performed in Integration Designer.
