Error description
APIs used in a toolkit service do not get the proper versioning context when executed as part of a process app. This leads to improper behavior for the APIs used in the services. A discrepancy in the solution for JR46006 (aka JR47764 on 8.0.1.1), between 8.0.1.1 and 8.0.1.2 causes the issue to still be present in 8.0.1.2 For example, the value of an environment variable which is fetched in a toolkit using javascript may not provide the proper value. It should be providing the value set for the related process app where it is executed. Although since it uses the wrong context the default value is provided instead.
Local fix
Problem summary
Toolkit specific variables are not resolved correctly at run time. AFFECTED EDITIONS: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.0.1 Advanced, Standard and Express PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION: If a process app references a toolkit and then supplies a specific value for a toolkit variable, this value will not be used at run time. Instead the original value of the toolkit variable will be used.
Problem conclusion
A fix for IBM BPM 8.0.1.2 is available that uses the correct (Root) snapshot ID when retrieving the variable values. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR49126: 1.
