Error description
The service REST API(/rest/bpm/wle/v1/service/) to start a service(POST start) does not start the correct service when a snapshot ID is provided. The REST start service API can start a service by name or by id. When a user tries to start a service by name, the REST API is ignoring the snapshotId parameter. This leads to the default snapshot (or TIP on Process Center) to be used rather than the specified snapshot.
Local fix
Use the service ID rather than the service name when using the start service REST API.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: User tries to start a service by name when * * using Business Process Manager. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Service REST API to start a service * * does not start the correct service * * when a snapshot ID is provided. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The service REST API(/rest/bpm/wle/v1/service/) to start a service(POST start) does not start the correct service when a snapshot ID is provided. The REST start service API can start a service by name or by id. When a user tries to start a service by name, the REST API is ignoring the snapshotId parameter. This leads to the default snapshot (or TIP on Process Center) to be used rather than the specified snapshot.
Problem conclusion
The logic of behavior becomes: If the service name does not have a snapshot name, then the snapshot id is used to choose the proper snapshot. If there is no snapshot id, then the current snapshot is used (for Process Center) or the default snapshot is used (for Process Server).
