IC99783: MESSAGE VALIDATOR PRIMITIVE NOT HANDLING SOME INVALID MESSAGES

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 5 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Download Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 3 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a Message Validator primitive some invalid messages
  which may cause exceptions when being parsed were not being
  caught as part of the validation process. Instead of firing the
  fail terminal of the Message Validator primitive as expected
  these exceptions resulted in the flow stopping.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Before the Message Validator primitive can validate a message it
   needs to parse it may need to parse that message. If this
  parsing fails, for example due to a non-Boolean value  in a
  Boolean field, then the primitive would fail through an
  exception and not fire the Fail terminal as it does with other
  validation errors.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified such that the Message Validator primitive
  will fire the Fail terminal when these parsing errors are seen
  in the primitive.
  
  
  The code was targeted to be included in the following Fix Packs.
  
  7.5.1 Fix Pack 3 (v7.5.1.3)
  8.0.1 Fix Pack 3 (v8.0.1.3)
  

Temporary fix
