APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When you model a service (A) with multiple end events, and this service is used as a nested service step in another service (B), in service B you must model a sequence flow for each end event of service A that leaves the nested service step. If one or more end events are not wired and the corresponding end events are navigated at run time, you see the following message and the service fails: "Error: Next service item is not defined In IBM Process Designer, no error is shown that warns you that the service (B) is incomplete. The same problem occurs if you model a heritage coach step but do not wire all end states of the coach in the surrounding service. CoachNG does not have this problem because CoachNG disables buttons that are not wired in the surrounding service.
Local fix
Problem summary
IBM BPM has a validation framework that validates artifacts when they are saved. In this framework, a method that checks for incomplete wiring is missing.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available that adds a method to the validation framework that issues a validation error if an outgoing sequence flow is missing from a heritage coach step or a nested service step.
