APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When EPV variables are used but the EPV is not added to the
    process app, you must restart IBM Business Process Manager. This
     issue occurs because the  EPV reference is cached incorrectly.
    
    PRODUCTS AFFECTED
    IBM BPM
    IBM BPM Express
    

Local fix

  • Restart the web Process Designer. The newly created EPV is
    visible in the variables tab and the error no longer occurs.
    

Problem summary

  • The process caches the EPV reference. A valid EPV reference
    defaults to null, but in some cases it gets an empty set. If
    that is the case, the wrong reference is returned when checking
    the EPV reference because a mismatch occurs.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix that removes EPV reference caching will be included in a
    future release of IBM BPM.
