Error description
integration service with 2 end states(A, B) is referred by multiple sub services with two end states in a human service. If change one sub service output end state binding from A to B, the other output end state binding of this sub service stay and not automatically changed from B to A, so that it has two ouput end state binding as B. The worse case is that the other sub services are also impacted, both output state bidnings are turned out as A.

Problem summary
If an integration service has 2 or more end states, and it is included 2 times or more in a human service, when the user tries to switch the end state bindings, which are in conflict, they will observe the links get incorrectly set after the switch. USER AFFECTED: Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard and Express authoring users who try to switch the end state bindings, which are in conflict, in a human service. PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION: The problem was a mis-calculation in determining the link that is in conflict. As a result, a different link was picked to be switched, and user will see the links incorrectly set. To avoid the problem, delete the end state links that the user wants to switch and re-create them accordingly afterwards. Reproduction steps: 1. Create a human service, within it create some sub nested services. 2. Build a integration servcice with two end states A and B 3. Attach above integration service to all sub nested service. 4. Create two different end states for each sub neted service and dra 5. Change on sub service end state binding behavior from B to A 6. Save service
Problem conclusion
This APAR will not fix the end state links that are already in the incorrect state. User will have to delete and re-create them to correct the problem. Rather this APAR fixed the Process Designer logic in determining the link that is in conflict. Now the end state links switching will work properly after applying the APAR.
