**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Customer who wants to clone a Process * * Application with services that have * * input/output variables. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When cloning a snapshot for a Process * * Application - errors are seen along * * with irregularities in the clone * * itself (missing data mappings, etc). * * Sometimes there are validation errors * * triggered. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** No exception would be logged in trace file when the problem happens. The issue can be observed when viewing the service element's data mapping properties. Either input or output mapping disappears.
Problem conclusion
The issue relates to input and output data mapping created for services. When an input/out variables data mapping is created, underneath the covers, PD creates parameter mappings which stores the details of the variables involved in the mapping. This parameter mapping once created however is not updated subsequently when for example the variables "IsList" property is switched. This leads to situation where the value for this property as stored in parameters tables differs from that stored in parameter mapping, cause a problem when the snapshot is cloned. Upon cloning the snapshot, the service in the cloned snapshot has a validation error because the data mapping for the input and/or output variables is lost. This ifix catches the case where the "IsList" property for the variable changes and trigger the fix up of these parameter mappings. For detailed install/uninstall instruction, please download the README file along with the ifix file from Fix Central.
