Error description

• When you run an application process, you might see
  the incorrect number of process steps running in the child
  component process.  This is due to the application process
  calling a
  previously deleted component process with the same name.  The
  correct behavior would be for the process to fail or for the
  system to display an error message. The process previously
  deleted should not still  be available to run within an
  application
  process.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a component process
  2. Create an application process that contains only the previous
  component process
  3. Delete the component process
  4. Create a new component process with the same name
  5. Run the application process
  
  Actual results: the deleted component process is run instead of
  the
  new process with no warning or
  error.
  

Local fix

• Change the application process design to use the new process

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Any user who deletes a component process                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Customer was confused when deleted processes were being run  *
  * as part of application processes that contained them         *
  * (expected/intended behavior).                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Upgrade to UCD 6.1.1.3                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Customers will now be presented with a more informative
  confirmation dialog when they delete a component process that
  informs them of this possibly counter-intuitive behavior and are
  provided with a list of affected application processes that are
  using the deleted component process. This change will be in UCD
  6.1.1.3.
