JR50532: GENERATED POLICY FILE DOES NOT PASS VALIDATION DUE TO BPD ID IS INVALID ERROR

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 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 a generated policy file for instance
  migration, a "BPD id is invalid" error occurs during policy file
  validation and instance migration is not allowed.  The error
  occurs due to a BPD defined in a toolkit and the initial lookup
  when doing the validation does not search the dependent
  toolkits for the specified artifact.  Even though the BPD entry
  can be found in the database and does indeed exist.
  

Local fix

• Use moveToken REST API and executing it on each instance
  manually.

  LOCAL FIX - n/a
  
  
  PROBLEM SUMMARY-
  When you migrate inflight instances from one snapshot to another
   by using a policy file, you  encounter the following error if a
   BPD is in a reference toolkit:
  
  ?The value <BPD_id> specified for attribute bpdid in XML element
  process is invalid.
  
  The policy file is generated by the BPMCheckOrphanTokens command
  and the BPD ID is automatically populated accordingly.
  Therefore, the error should not apply because the BPD does
  exist.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 to properly locate the
  BPD from a toolkit and resolve the ?BPD ID is invalid? error.
