Error description
In a coach, if a date (selector) field is required but is not populated when the user clicks the OK button, the date field is not highlighted in red (as missing required fields of other types are) to indicate that a date must be selected.

Problem conclusion
Changes to the field validation logic for date fields, in addition to changes to coach designer artifacts (in the Teamworks application, Portal application, and system toolkit), resolved the issue. An interim fix for Business Process Manager Version 7.5.1.0 been published to Fix Central. Below is prerequisite information and installation/uninstallation instructions for the interim fix (also published to Fix Central in a separate file that is automatically downloaded with the interim fix): Prerequisite information ======================== Prereqs: JR42576, JR42765, JR42894, JR43096 Supersedes: JR42727, JR42954, JR42959, JR42983, JR43612 Following is the interim fix installation order based on prerequisites: Process Center/Server: JR42012-JR42280-JR42220-JR42232-JR42330-JR42342-JR42576-JR42331- JR42452-JR42765-JR42894-JR42683-JR43096-JR43184 Process Designer: JR42012-JR42280-JR42894 Installation instructions ========================= To install the JR43184 interim fix, follow these steps: 1. Back up the BPM and Performance Data Warehouse databases. (This is important because part of the prerequisite fixes go into the database and a database backup is required to revert the fix from the database.) 2. Back up the stand-alone profile or all profiles in a network deployment environment. The "backupConfig" command can be used to backup a profile. See the following documentation section: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/ com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/rxml_ba ckupconfig.html 3. Stop the stand-alone server or network deployment environment before applying any fix. 4. Install the JR43184 runtime interim fix packages using IBM Installation Manager. Prerequisite fixes and other fixes in the installation order can be installed at the same time as JR43184. Note that some of the prerequisite fixes have runtime as well as Process Designer fix packages. The Process Designer fixes should be installed one at a time. 5. Upgrade profiles: - For a stand-alone environment, follow step two in this section: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v7r5m1/topic/c om.ibm.wbpm.imuc.doc/topics/tmig_upgrading_bpm_errors.htm l - For a network deployment environment, follow step three in this section for each cluster: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v7r5m1/topic/c om.ibm.wbpm.imuc.doc/topics/tmig_upgrading_bpm_nd_clusters.html 6. Run the upgrade_7x command to update the database by following step one in this section: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v7r5m1/topic/c om.ibm.wbpm.imuc.doc/upgrade/topic/upgrading_existing_dbs_751.ht ml You must run the command three times as follows: First Run: As per step one listed in the above section (without any -ifix parameter). This is for older fixes in the prerequisites chain. Second Run: Add "-ifix JR43096" to other required parameters like profileName, etc. Third Run: Add "-ifix JR43184" to other required parameters like profileName, etc. (The last two runs are specific to interim fixes. This is because upgrade_7x was changed to accommodate changes specific to interim fixes, and not require being executed in its entirety). 7. Start the stand-alone server or network deployment environment.
