Error description
Problem Description: When starting processes using REST API /rest/bpm/wle/v1/process with parameter action=start , the process is started successfully when the PA and snapshots are in archived state. When the PA is archived all snapshots become inactive and the exposed BPDs should no longer be accessible. This scenario should be blocked.
Local fix
. The change is to modify the following value LSW_FAVORITES.EXPOSED_PROCESS_TYPE . If the BPD is set to exposed at startup , it will have a value of "0" . Remove this entry and it will no longer show up. . However, there is also another scenario in which the PA will get added to the list , which is when LSW_FAVORITES.ITEM_TYPE is "1","11" or "13" . I would imagine since the PA is archived and no longer needed, then these values won't matter. However, this is not a recommended workaround since it involves manually modifying DB content.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM BPM business users or UI developers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A process instance can be started even * * though the process application * * snapshot is archived. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** There are multiple ways to start a process instance. One way is to use the /rest/bpm/wle/v1/process REST API with the action=start parameter. Another way is to use Process Portal to start the exposed BPD. Both of these ways start a process instance for a process application snapshot that has been archived.
Problem conclusion
With the fix applied, process instances cannot be started for process application snapshots that are archived.
