Error description
When a process application contains a parent business process definition (BPD) that calls a linked sub-process BPD that is defined in a toolkit, then monitoring events are not emitted from the linked sub-process. The result is that default KPIs that Business Process Manager provides are not populated with values. Note that this issue is specific to a linked sub-process BPD that is defined in a toolkit. If the linked sub-process BPD and the parent BPD are both associated with the same process application, then the issue does not occur.
Local fix
Refactoring the application so that a linked sub-process BPD is included in the same process application as the parent BPD rather than in a toolkit will result in values for default KPIs.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of BPM Express, BPM Standard, and * * BPM Advanced. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Monitoring events are not emitted * * from a linked sub-process BPD when * * the linked sub-process is defined * * within a toolkit. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Logic to retrieve the execution context searched at the level of the toolkit rather than the level of the process application associated with the calling BPD.
Problem conclusion
Logic to retrieve the execution context was revised to search at the level of the process application associated with the BPD that called the linked sub-process. An interim fix has been created for IBM Business Process Manager version 8.0.1.1.
