Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Coach BPM 8.0.1.X. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Coach shows up as empty randomly in * * Process Designer impacting runtime * * until cache is modified. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Previous content box contributions can sometimes trigger an issue with codegen due to a stale reference in the model. When a user adds content to a contentBox, these 'contributions' are persisted in the layout model; However, if they are eventually removed, the model still thinks there are contributions to a content box by a certain ID, but the actual contributions are empty. Therefore, if you subsequently add another contentBox, and it receives the same ID, depending on the order in which the contributions are processed, the 'real' contributions can be wiped out by this stale, empty contributions.
Problem conclusion
The fix was to assume that if the model contained a contribution section, and the number of contributions was actually 0, then obviously it contributes nothing - and we should ignore. A formal fix was provided for this issue in 8.0.1.1. It was superseded by JR46152. APAR JR46152 is available for download on Fix Central.
