8.0.1.2-WS-BPM-IFJR51362
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you try to update tracking definitions in the Performance
  Data Warehouse with tracked field names that contain more than
  30 bytes, the view for the corresponding tracked field columns
  cannot be created, which causes the update-tracking definitions
  process to fail.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Some databases, such as Oracle, do not allow column names to be
  greater than 30 bytes. Performance Data Warehouse did not
  restrict the tracked field column name to the 30-byte limit.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 that ensures that the
  tracked field column name is unique and also restricted to 30
  bytes long.
