PI70161: LOCKED SNAPSHOT DEPLOYMENT MAY NOT RESPECT LOCKED ENVIRONMENT PROPERTIES

IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.2.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Locked Snapshot deployment may not respect locked environment
  properties.  In this case, deleting an environment property
  after taking a snapshot of that property can result in that
  property not being found during process execution.
  
  To reproduce:
  
  1) Create a working application deployment with a component.
  The component should have environment property definitions with
  a default value.  The Component Process should echo out (or
  otherwise use)
  ${p:environment/MyComponentEnvironmentPropertyDefintion}
  
  2) Verify that the component process echoes out the default
  value you set.
  
  3) Create a snapshot and lock everything.
  
  4) Delete the MyComponentEnvironmentPropertyDefinition from the
  component template.
  
  5) Run the process again.  Notice that the component process
  fails because it cannot find
  environment/MyComponentEnvironmentPropertyDefinition"
