Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.0 and IBM BPM V8.0.1.1 that cleans up the UCAs when you delete snapshots from Process Server. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR46969: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR46969, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix. In addition to this interim fix, install the other interim fixes that are required for the BPMDeleteSnapshot and BPMSnapshotCleanup commands, which are listed in "Issues with BPMDeleteSnapshot and BPMSnapshotCleanup commands in IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)" (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21669992).
