JR42778: EPV VALUES DON'T TAKE EFFECT PROPERLY THROUGH THE MANAGE EPV SCREEN OF THE PROCESS ADMIN

Version 8.0 Refresh Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Version 7.5.1 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• EPV values don't take effect properly through the
  Manage EPV screen of the Process Admin Console. After "Effective
  Date" is reached, value reverts back to some seemingly random
  previous value. If you try to do yet-another "New" value, once
  you press "OK", the value changes from that seemingly random
  previous value to the value it *was* supposed to be -- but only
  until the New "Effective Date" is reached, whereupon the value
  reverts back to that same seemingly random previous value.
