The StartService REST API fails to start a service with the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.0 products


Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

When you attempt to start a service for the IBM Business Process Manager Version 8.0 products through the StartService REST API, you receive a CWTBG0568E error message.

Symptom

You might see the following error when you attempt to start a service with the REST API:

REST API Sample:
http://<hostname>:<port>/rest/bpm/wle/v1/service/<Process App Acronym>@<service>?action=start&snapshotId=<snapshotID>&createTask=false&parts=all

errorMessage:
"CWTBG0568E: Unable to start service type BACKGROUND due to a restriction: Service type must be AJAX or HUMAN.",

errorMessageParameters:
  [
  "BACKGROUND"
  ],


Cause

There was a deliberate change for Version 8.0 to address an SQL issue. This change limits human services to be started using a REST call. Only AJAX and human services are allowed to be executed using REST calls.

Resolving the problem

You can use the startProcess or another REST API to implement the same function with non-human or AJAX services.
