JR51680: ASSETS ARE NOT VISIBLE TO PROCESS APPLICATION IF PROCESS APP REFERS TO FROM TOOLKIT MORE THAN ONE LEVEL DEEP

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When A process application refers to an asset from a toolkit
  more than one level deep, you receive the  following exception
  in the SystemOut.log file:
  
  [10/22/14 17:46:58:584 BRST] 0000005f CoachNGWorker E
  com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException: Can only
  reference assets one dependency down
  
  Example: if PA1 depends on a TK1 which then has dependency on
  TK2. Any asset from TK2 is not visible to PA1.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Managed asset URLs are generated to be either direct, if they
  are in the running process application or toolkit, or indirect,
  from the process application through the toolkit's short name.
  As a result, managed assets that are more than one level of
  dependencies deep from a process application cannot be referred
  to and the following exception is thrown:
  
  com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException: Can only reference
  assets one dependency down.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 that changed all managed
  asset URLs to be direct and, therefore, removed the restriction
  on the number of dependency levels.
