APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Process Designer, you can author and debug services. You
  can also debug services on an online process server. However,
  when you try to debug service types other than AJAX and human
  service on an online process server, you see this message:
  
  You are not allowed to execute this service because it is
  neither a human service nor an AJAX service.
  

Local fix

• On the online process server, you can disable the service type
  check by adding the following lines to the 100Custom.xml that is
  appropriate to your topology:
  
  <server merge="mergeChildren">
   <web-workflow-manager merge="mergeChildren">
    <enforce-correct-service-type-for-execute-service-by-name>
     false
    </enforce-correct-service-type-for-execute-service-by-name>
   </web-workflow-manager>
  </server>
  
  Note: Using this setting is a security risk because it allows
  any authenticated user to run any internal service.
  

Problem summary

• When a service is started directly, authorization checks are
  performed. Service types other than AJAX and human services
  typically are not invoked directly. To allow users to debug
  them, extra validation occurs to ensure the authors of the
  process application are allowed to debug it. These checks do not
  consider debugging that occurs on an online process server.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.2 that allows
  users who are members of the IBM BPM authors group and have
  authoring access to the process application to debug service
  types other than AJAX and human service on an online process
  server.
