  ****************************************************************
  IBM BPM web service integration should process a security
  header with a UTC timestamp in only the following format:
  yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.S'Z'
  If the response contains the UTC time without the millisecond
  section, the value cannot be recognized, which leads to the
  IllegalArgumentException.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1.3
  that updates the security header timestamp processor so that
  web service integration can process the time value with or
  without the millisecond section.
