JR61186: YOU CAN'T SELECT COACH VIEWS FOR BOUNDARY EVENTS THAT AREN'T ON THE FIRST TAB IF THE TAB VIEW FIRES BOUNDARY EVENTS

workflow.19002.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you place items into a content box instance that has its
  layout preview set to one at a time, it acts as a tabbed element
   in the web IBM Process Designer. This causes a problem when you
   try to select a subelement as the target for a boundary event
  line. The following behavior occurs:
  
  -The first tab of the content displays as open when the control
  picker window opens, which allows you to select anything for the
  boundary event on that first tab successfully.
  -Any tab after the first that has only a single item in it (such
  as a button) to be selected as the target for the boundary event
  because clicking the tab is like clicking the component so the
  tab click selects a contained button for the boundary event.
  
  The problem is that any tab after the first that has a
  collection of coach views in it becomes unselectable as a
  target. When you click the tab to switch to it, Process Designer
  thinks you selected the containing coach view as the target and
  immediately closes the picker window.
  
  The BPM UI toolkit Tab control doesn't experience the problem
  because the BPM UI Tab control doesn't fire boundary events.
  Therefore, clicking the tabs to switch between isn't valid,
  preventing the picker modal from closing when the tab is
  clicked.

Local fix

• Temporarily move the tab that has the control you want to select
   to the first position, set the boundary event, and then move
  the order back.
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be available in a future release of Business
  Automation Workflow that ensures you can select any coach view
  for boundary events regardless of its location in a coach
  layout.
  

Temporary fix
