Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  User of external implementation defined     *
    *                  in toolkit.                                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: BrokenReferenceException is thrown      *
    *                      when invoking set data api where        *
    *                      variable is defined in toolkit's        *
    *                      external implementation.                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The server cache the reference to external implementation
    activity. When setData api tries to get the handle to external
    implemenation activity it fails with BrokenReferenceException
    because the cache has incorrect value.
    

Problem conclusion

  • With the interim fix applied, setData rest api does not
    use cache.
