JR49068: IME DOES NOT RECEIVE EVENT FROM UCA

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 5 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

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.
