JR51891: GET METHOD TO RETRIEVE A VISUAL MODEL FOR A BPD DOES NOT WORK IN 8501 AND LATER VERSIONS.

8.5.5.0-WS-BPM-IFJR51891
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you use the ?rest/bpm/wle/v1/visual/processModel? or
  ?rest/bpm/wle/v1/visual/serviceModel? REST APIs to retrieve a
  business process definition (BPD) or service visual models, it
  fails with an ?Array index out of range? error when the image
  parameter is set to true.
  

Local fix

• None available.
  

Problem summary

• You expected the results to  be an image of the BPD or service
  design. However, the following error is returned in the
  SystemOut.log file:
  
  wle_bpmrest   E
  com.ibm.bpm.rest.impl.ilogdiagram.image.BPDImageHandler retrieve
  Array index out of range: 5
  
  java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Array index out of

  And the following error message is displayed in the web browser:
  {"status":"500","errorMessage":"Array index out of range: 5"}
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that fixes these REST
  APIs and ensures the proper image of the BPD or service that has
   been requested is returned.
