JR51641: TWPROCESSAPP'S SNAPSHOTS PROPERTY DOES NOT RETURN THE ITEMS IN THE DOCUMENTED ORDER

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

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• TWProcessApp's snapshots property does not return the items in
  the documented order
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFPJS_8.5.5/com.i
  bm.wbpm.ref.doc/ae/doc/JSAPI.html
  The product javascript documentation mentions the following for
  this property:
  snapshots - Returns a JavaScript array of all of the snapshots
   of  the current process app on a Teamworks Process Server or
   Process Center. If on Process Center, excludes archived
   snapshots. This list returns the snapshots in the order of
   oldest to newest based on the snapshot creation date.
  
  The observed behavior is that it sometime is in the creation
  order by track and sometimes it may appear to be somewhat
  random.
  .
  .---------------------------------------------
     The query that is run that returns the data is
  select t0.SNAPSHOT_ID,t0.CREATED_ON,t0.NAME,t0.ACRONYM,
  t0.DESCRIPTION,t 0.SEQ_NUM,t0.ERROR_COUNTER,
  t0.ORIG_CREATED_ON,t0.ACTIVATED_ON,t0.STATUS, t0.CAPABILITY,
  t0.ARCHIVED_ON,t0.LAST_MODIFIED,t0.REPOSITORY_BRANCH_ID,
  t0.CREATED_BY_USER_ID,t0.BRANCH_ID,t0.PROJECT_ID,
  t0.LAST_MODIFIED_BY_USER_ ID,t0.CHANGE_DATA,t0.IS_ACTIVE,
  t0.IS_BLA_ACTIVE,t0.IS_STARTED,t0.IS_INSTALLED,
  t0.IS_BLA_INSTALLED,t0.IS_TIP_DEPLOYED,t0.IS_DEFAULT,
  t0.TIP_DEPLOYMENT_IN_PROGRESS,t0.IS_ARCHIVED from LSW_SNAPSHOT
  t0 where PROJECT_ID = ? and
  IS_ARCHIVED = ? and NAME is not null order by SEQ_NUM ASC
  

Local fix

• To workaround the issue you would want to ensure that you sort
  the array after obtaining it. You may want to use the
  dateCreated or dateInstalled properties for the snapshots.
  

Problem summary

• The problem will be fixed in next release.
