JR51495: RECEIVE ILLEGALARGUMENTEXCEPTION WHEN SAVING A UCA IN PROCESS DESIGNER

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a UCA was opened in read-only mode and then reopened in edit
  mode, modifying and attempting to save the UCA might fail and
  result in an IllegalArgumentException being logged in the IBM
  Process Designer log (ae.log).
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• Restart Process Designer before opening a UCA in a toolkit for
  editing.
  

Problem summary

• The problem occurs because the incorrect versioning context is
  used to load part of the UCA model when it is opened for
  editing.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that ensures a tip
  versioning context is used in the hidden process when the UCA is
  loaded in edit mode.
