Error description

• In-memory reference for the UCA data mapping not getting

  Following validaton errors is shown from service with invoke
  UCA steps that have data mappings:
  No Input paramter mapping found for parameter without default.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users cloning process applications or       *
  *                  toolkits containing services with Invoke    *
  *                  UCA steps that have data mappings.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Parameter mapping validation errors     *
  *                      appear on services with Invoke UCA      *
  *                      steps after cloning.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  An id used to look up parameter mappings in the Invoke UCA
  step is not updated during cloning so it continues to use the
  original id. Validation generates an error when it tries to
  look up the parameter mapping with the new id for the clone.
  This id reference is not persisted but validation must be
  triggered again to clear the error.
  

Problem conclusion

• The id in question is updated when the other dependencies are
  updated during the cloning process.
  
  Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt
  on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page
  in FixCentral, the readme.txt will be available with the
  interim fix package as a separate download.
  

Temporary fix

• Edit the service and make an insignificant change to trigger
  validation. The parameter mapping can now be found with the
  new id so the validation error is resolved.
