JR54232: DESCRIPTION FIELDS IN MANAGE EPV PAGES DISPLAY HTML TAGS INSTEAD OF THE DESCRIPTION TEXT

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When viewing exposed process values (EPVs) in the Process Admin
  Console (Admin Tools > Manage EPVs) the Description section
  displays HTML code tags instead of the description text.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• In IBM BPM V7.5.xx, the description of EPVs was stored in plain
  text. In IBM BPM V8.x, the text is stored in HTML. Security
  fixes ported from the V7.5.x versions still use the plain text
  format, which shows the HTML source text instead of the
  description.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in an IBM BPM V8.5.6 cumulative fix that
  corrects the rendering to display the text again instead of the
  HTML.
  
  To determine whether the cumulative fix is available and
  download it if it is, complete the following steps on Fix
  Central:
  
  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 Text, enter ?cumulative fix?, and click Continue.
