Local fix
No workaround
Problem summary
When the enterprise application will be uninstalled, all template artifacts that belong to the enterprise application will be removed from internal caches. This cleanup fails with the exception above and leads to a failure of the uninstall.
Problem conclusion
With this interim fix the cache is fixed so that the exception does not occur any longer and the uninstall does not fail because of this exception. FIX AVAILABILITY: iFix on top of BPM 8.0.1.1 is available on Fix Central, search for APAR JR46951 at http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/ When obtaining any of the above fixes, be sure to download the accompanying readme, for itself and any prerequisite fixes, and review them thorougly. Fix will be included in BPM 8.0.1.2 fixpack.
