APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Running services in the Service Debugger might cause an exception if you try to show the variable value in the Variables tab in the lower right of the Process Designer. The error might occur if you set the property httpProtocolOnly to true to configure Process Designer to use the HTTP or HTTPS protocol instead of RMI with JMS. Note that both JR50590 and JR50899 are require to get this functionality working.
Local fix
Problem summary
A service might not have a task instance associated with it. The code still tries to access the task instance and that causes the exception to occur.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM 8.5.0.1 that prevents the code from trying to access the task instance if no task instance has been associated with the service. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR50899: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR50899, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
