Error description
When using the REST API call "Send Message" on the process server with an intermediate message event (IME), the UCA is not picked up. JMS is being used to post messages to the BPM Event Manager as detailed in the product documenation. Adding in the optional 'snapshot' parameter allows the UCA to complete and consume the message If this parameter is omitted, this call sends the message to the tip version of the process application. In a Process Server environment, there is no tip version. There are only default applications and named snapshots. With no "snapshot" in the <eventmsg> message, the IME is not picked up.
Local fix
Specify the name of the snapshot in the <event> section of the message.
Problem summary
Some REST API calls work fine in Process Center, but not in Process Server environment. PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION: The customer uses a series of REST API calls to navigate through their process instances. One of them, 'Send Message' API call, offers an optional 'snapshot' parameter. If this parameter is omitted, this call sends the message to the tip version of the process application. But, in a Process Server environment, there is no tip version. Thus, nothing happens.
Problem conclusion
This interim fix now sends the message to the start event node of the default snapshot, and to the interim event nodes of all snapshots of the specified process application.
