Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 5 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• A false validation error is being thrown when using a colon for
  JavaScript Object declaration.  From the example below as soon
  as you use the auto-complete, by adding a dot (.), to
  tw.local.value[i] it will throw a validation error.
  
  Example:
  var myVar = {
          "value1": tw.local.value[i]
          "value2": tw.local.value[i].length
  };
  

Local fix

• None. Does not prevent the code from running.
  

Problem summary

• (one line description)
  When defining a JSON object in the java script editor using a
  variable defined as a list (ie. tw.local.list1[i]), a validation
  error will be shown on any members of that list variable and no
  content assist will be available
  
  USER AFFECTED:
  Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard and Express user who
  is writing java script code and is defining a JSON object and
  wishes to use a variable defined as a list
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  Code will be made to evaluate the value field of the JSON object
  as a JSExpression with a context of
  JSSyntaxParseContext.INSTRUCTION_EXPRESSION_TYPE_PROGRAM. This
  allows the code to properly parse the JSExpression and provide
  correct content assist as well as no validation errors.
  
  FIX AVAILABILITY:
  Fix planned for next 8.5 cumulative maintenance deliverable.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
