Error description
If a business process definition (BPD) contains missing or broken subprocess references, switching between snapshots might cause the wrong version of subprocess model to be opened in the editor and the IllegalArgumentException when you try to save the subprocess to Process Center. AFFECTED PRODUCTS: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
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: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: PO bpdId(false) = BPD.72d97a9f-97e4-4a65-8aeb-695ff81fc031, data(false) = null, isTrackingEnabled(false) = true, isSpcEnabled(false) = false, restrictedName(false) = null, isCriticalPathEnabled(false) = true, participantRef(false) = null, businessDataParticipantRef(false) = null, perfMetricParticipantRef(false) = null, timeScheduleType(false) = null, timeScheduleName(false) = null, timeScheduleExpression(false) = null, holidayScheduleType(false) = null, holidayScheduleName(false) = null, holidayScheduleExpression(false) = null, timezoneType(false) = null, timezone(false) = null, timezoneExpression(false) = null, name(false) = 2d97a9f-97e4-4a65-8aeb-695ff81fc031, description(false) = , type(false) = 2, rootBpdId(false) = BPD.7abb4b08-6855-415b-a592-a19953bca729, parentBpdId(false) = BPD.7abb4b08-6855-415b-a592-a19953bca729, parentFlowObjectId(false) = bpdid:f6533429a1bbcb6b:1ad793d4:14249f3b94a:-7e45, xmlData(false) = null, templateId(false) = null, guid(false) = guid:f6533429a1bbcb6b:1ad793d4:14249f3b94a:-7e2c, versionId(false) = fb265028-ac95-4e6b-82c8-3158b1326674, lastModified(false) = 2013-11-14 18:43:04.485, lastModifiedByUserId(false) = User.1802, state = RECORD_STATE_MODIFIED, saveSyncId = null has VC Snapshot.75532c1b-4ab1-4d95-aedf-f7ee6e67f7fd which is incompatible with save VC Snapshot.75532c1b-4ab1-4d95-aedf-f7ee6e67f7fd(tip)
