APAR status

  • Closed as documentation error.

Error description

  • Coach behavior is inconsistent in terms of
    
    variables being initialized or not. It looks like the behavior
    changes
    when coach contains a combo box. When a combo box is present in
    the
    coach variables are initialized to empty object without any
    input from
    user but the same varibles remain uninitialized when there is no
    combobox.
    

Local fix

  • NA
    

Problem summary

  • Complex variables in a human service are initialized after a
    heritage coach executes, even though they are not modifed by the
    coach.
    
    USER AFFECTED:
    Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard and Express.
    
    PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
    The coach framework requires that all variables that are
    referenced by the coach are initialized.  If the service does
    not initialize the variables, then the caoch framework will do
    this.  This may be an issue if the service level code is
    expecting variables to remain undefined.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This behaviour will be documented in the next 7.5.1 Information
    Center refresh.
    
    WORKAROUND:
    Ensure that service level code does not require variables to be
    left in an undefined state if they are referenced by a coach.
    

Temporary fix
