Error description

  • When BPC is running in shared work item mode and e.g. a Human
Task is claimed, an assertion violation like the following may
occur:

[11/24/10 16:34:11:175 CET] 00000041 TraceBPE      E
com.ibm.bpe.util.Assert.assertion(Assert.java:64)

[11/24/10 16:34:11:178 CET] 00000041 TraceBPE      E
com.ibm.bpe.util.Assert.assertion(Assert.java:67)
[11/24/10 16:34:11:178 CET] 00000041 TraceBPE      E
com.ibm.bpe.util.Assert.assertion(Assert.java:68)

The problem may occur whenever new work items are created,
modified, or deleted (almost always).

Pre-requisites for the problem to occur are:
- an environment when there are un-referenced shared work items.
  E.g. customers with very small systems ("test systems" for
  functional testing e.g.) or in "dry out" situations for a
  specific process template.

- the clean-up daemon must have run at least 2 times
  (default interval is 1 day)


This APAR will only prevent the problem but does not clean up
the invalid work items created by this issue. APAR IZ94581 was
created to handle this.

Problem summary


    

  • Problem fixed.

This APAR prevents WPS/BPC from generating data in the database
which could lead to assertions at runtime.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • iFix available on top of WPS V700 SP3.
Fix will be included in WPS V700 SP4.
