  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After you rediscover an OpenAPI 2.0 specification that contains
    a type definition with a recursive self reference, you might get
     the "Business object is unreachable" validation error in IBM
    Process Designer.
    
    Such a type is, for example, for a person that contains an array
    of persons:
    
    "definitions": {
      "Person": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "firstName": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "lastName": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "relatives": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
              "$ref": "#/definitions/Person"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
