Error description

  • When you try to convert business process definitions (BPDs) to
    processes in the web IBM Process Designer, you get the following
     exception if a BPD has a linked exposed process variable (EPV)
    in it:
    
    '/21....' is not a valid ID in string form.
    
    PRODUCTS AFFECTED 
    IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
    IBM BPM Express
    

Local fix

  • Remove the linked EPVs from the BPD before attempting the
    conversion.
    

Problem summary

  • No additional information is available.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix that ensures BPD-to-process conversion is successful even
    when linked EPVs are included will be included in a future
    release of IBM BPM.
