APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When you invoke a service by using the executeServiceByName URL,
    there is no access restriction based on the service type.
    Instead, services that were meant for internal use only are
    available for authenticated users.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • No additional information is available.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is available for all supported releases of IBM BPM and
    WebSphere Lombardi Edition. This fix validates the service type
    for invocations that are performed by using the
    executeServiceByName URL.
    
    With this fix installed, it is possible to start human services
    that are exposed to the logged-on user and to start AJAX
    Services.
    
    You will not be able to start other services unless all of the
    following requirements are met:
    
    - The request is processed on Process Center.
    - The request was issued by Process Designer in a playback
      session.
    - The user who issued this request is a member of the tw_authors
      group.
    - The user who issues this request is granted Read access to the
      process application.
    
    For backwards compatibility, a new configuration flag is
    introduced. By setting the following compatibility flag to false
    in the 100Custom.xml file, you can re-enable the previous
    behavior:
    
    <server merge=?mergeChildren?>
      <web-workflow-manager merge=?mergeChildren?>
        <enforce-correct-service-type-for-execute-service-by-name>
         false
        </enforce-correct-service-type-for-execute-service-by-name>
      </web-workflow-manager>
    </server>
    
    On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search
    for JR52126 (IBM BPM) or search for IT06189 (WebSphere Lombardi
    Edition):
    
    1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition or IBM
      WebSphere Lombardi Edition from the product selector, the
      installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform,
      and then click Continue.
    
    2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR52126 (IBM BPM) or IT06189
      (WebSphere Lombardi Edition), and click Continue.
    
    When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download
    the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for
    additional installation instructions and information about the
    fix.
