Error description

  • An SCA module in IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
    sends a message to an intermediate message event inside a
    business process definition (BPD) that listens for that SCA
    message. However, sometimes the message cannot be delivered to
    the waiting intermediate message event and disappears, keeping
    the intermediate message event waiting.
    
    To identify the issue, turn on the trace function and use
    criteria WLE.*=all. Search for message CWLLG1110W inside the
    trace. A trace entry like the following trace entry identifies
    the problem:
    Ä2/6/15 10:37:34:165 ESTÜ 00000141 wle_engine    1
    com.lombardisoftware.bpd.runtime.engine.BPDEngine
    processNotificationRegardlessStatus CWLLG1110W: Ignoring
    notification com.lombardisoftware.bpd.runtime.engine.
    message.BPDMessageDeliverySCAEventNotification§8392b914
    for which a node could not be found.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When an SCA module sends a message to an intermediate message
    event, IBM BPM first searches the BPD instance. Inside the BPD
    instance, IBM BPM uses the corresponding event ID and the name
    of the SCA service to find the intermediate message event that
    receives the message. When the receiving intermediate message
    event is activated, it stores its event ID and SCA service name
    in the execution context of the BPD instance.
    The problem occurs because IBM BPM uses an event ID that is not
    persisted in the BPD in the database but is created each time
    the BPD is retrieved from the database. Therefore, if the
    intermediate message event is activated on a server and the
    message is delivered on a different server, the two servers use
    different event IDs and the message cannot be delivered.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is available for IBM BPM that uses an event ID that is
    persisted in the BPD in the database. In this way, all servers
    use the same event ID for the same intermediate event.
    On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search
    for JR53548:
    1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from
      the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack
      level, and your platform, and then click Continue.
    2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR53548, and click Continue.
    When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download
    the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for
    additional installation instructions and information about the
    fix.
    NOTE: Messages sent or tokens which arrived at an IME before
    the APAR is installed cannot be processed. This would include
    cases of upgrades to a product version which has the fix. The
    token on the IME would need to be moved again and the message
    sent a second time.
