Problem summary


    

  • The exposed processes REST API always calculates the startURL
value for launching the process, which is required by IBM
Process Portal in IBM BPM. However, the startURL might not be
required for your usage of the API. This calculation is time
consuming. Therefore, when there are many exposed processes, the
 calculation can substantially increase the amount of time it
takes to return the set of exposed processes.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.0 that adds a new
parameter, excludeProcessStartUrl, to the exposed processes REST
 API.  By default, or if the value of the parameter is set to
false ("excludeProcessStartUrl=false"), the API always
calculates and returns the startURL value for each exposed
proces that it returns in the response.  If the value of the
parameter is set to  true, the startURL values will not be
calculated or returned in the response.
