APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • In IBM Process Designer, the SQL Connector panel displays the
    following information:
    
    Standard JDBC Types: ARRAY, BIGINT, BINARY, BIT, BLOB, BOOLEAN,
    CHAR, CLOB, DATALINK, DATE, DECIMAL, DISTINCT, DOUBLE, FLOAT,
    INTEGER, AVA_OBJECT,         LONGVARBINARY....
    
    However, even though all these types are technically available,
    IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) does not transform complex
    IBM BPM types (such as TWObjects) to standard JDBC types that
    the database can process. Therefore, the SQL Connector code can
    handle only simple types.
    
    The limitation information is missing from the documentation.
    

Local fix

  • Use the Java integration feature to invoke custom Java code
    using JDBC java interfaces to call stored procedures.
    

Problem summary

  • No additional information is available.
    
    PRODUCTS AFFECTED
    IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced

Problem conclusion

  • Information about this limitation will be added to the
    SQLParameter variable types description in an upcoming IBM BPM
    V8.5.7 cumulative fix.
    

Temporary fix
