Error description
When running the REST API startTask using the task id, the response returned is missing the step name
Local fix
n/a
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users attempting to utilize the "step * * name" in the REST API response. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: REST API response does not include * * the step name * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** During runtime REST API does not search recursively through sub-processes to look-up the step which the current process is at. Therefore, the step name is not returned in the response. The issue can be reproduced by utilizing the REST API -> Start Task API. This issue is not reproducible in v8.0.1.0 and up.
Problem conclusion
Code changes have been made to recursively look inside current process for the step details and produce the proper response which includes the step name. A similar fix, JR46419 also resolves a step name issue but is specific to the Resume Service API. Customers should apply both JR46419 and JR47991 to resolve the step name issue for both APIs. A fix for 7.5.1.1 is available on Fix Central: http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral. Search for JR47991. When downloading 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.
