    The generator of the data binding might miss the .xsd files,
    which are necessary to generate the data binding namespace in
    some directories.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 that ensures the data
    binding generator can access the .xsd files in all required
