JR59433: DIAGRAM TAB IN CLIENT-SIDE HUMAN SERVICE LOSES ALL CONTENT

workflow.18001.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After you re-open a client-side human service where multiple
  diagram elements including connections out of a coach element
  were pasted, you notice all the diagram content is lost.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• To prevent the issue from occurring
  -Don't include coach connections when doing a multi-select copy
  and paste. For example, just select the nodes in the diagram and
  not the connections between them
  or
  -Add a new connection to the diagram that is outbound from a
  script and include both in the copy and paste. For example, add
  an empty script, draw a connection from it to your coach, and
  then select everything you want to copy including this empty
  script and its connection. After you paste it, you can delete
  the additional connection and script as well as their copies.
  

Problem summary

• The copy and paste action in the diagram might cause a
  connection with a duplicate ID to be created, which might cause
  the diagram to lose all visual content.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that prevents duplicate IDs for connections will be
  available in a future release of IBM Business Automation
  Workflow.
