Problem summary

• IllegalArgumentException could occur when you try to save a BPD.
  This issue occurs when you model BPDs and subprocesses in
  Process Designer and frequently switch snapshots. If a BPD
  contains missing or broken subprocess references, switching
  snapshots and double clicking to open a subprocess might cause a
  subprocess of an incorrect version to be opened in the editor.
  If you try to edit and save the BPD to Process Center, the
  following IllegalArgumentException might occur:
