Error description

• If you defined a web service integration that uses web service
  server settings in a toolkit and included the toolkit in a
  process application, you can update the values of the web
  service server settings in the Process Admin Console after
  deploying the process application to one IBM Process Server
  environment or activating corresponding process application
  snapshot in one IBM Process Center environment. However, after
  the update the values that are used at run time are still the
  original values.

  ****************************************************************
  For IBM BPM web service integration, the server definition is
  loaded from the service's version scope. So, if you defined
  the integration service in the toolkit, IBM BPM tries to load
  the server configuration only from the toolkit's version
  scope. However, at run time the modification to the values in
  the Process Admin Console are stored in the process
  application scope. Therefore, the values will not take effect.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.0.1
  that searches for the value from both the toolkit and process
  application scope and use the latest value.
