Error description

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users trying to clone a process app which * * includes a UCA implemented by a variable. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cloning a process app which includes * * UCA implemented by a variable fails * * with NPE. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When trying to clone a process app which includes a UCA implemented by a variable the clone operation will fail because the TWProcess (underlying generated process for the variable) will be null since it has not been copied over yet.
Problem conclusion
To fix this, a check has been added to check if the TWProcess is null (clone == null). If this is the case, then it will be copied over and then set and then the rest of the UCA clone can continue. Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page in FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix package as a separate download.
Temporary fix
Delete the UCA with the variable implementation and then clone the process app. Or set the UCA to be implemented by a service and then clone the process app.
