JR52449: CANNOT FIND BPD INSTANCES ON PROCESS CENTER

8.5.5.0-WS-BPM-IFJR52449
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you start a business process definition (BPD) instance by
  using a start message event that has a condition that evaluates
  to false, the BPD instance must not be created but it is.
  To remove the unwanted BPD instance, the data must be deleted.
  However, deleting the data might cause a deadlock. As a result,
  the unusable BPD instance remains
  in the system.
  
  If you select this unusable BPD instance in the Inspector view
  of IBM Process Designer, you receive an error message similar to
  the following error message:
  
  BPDInstanceData with ID BPDInstanceData.<XXX> not found.
  
  If you try to delete that BPD instance from the Inspector view,
  you get the same message and the BPD instance remains in the
  system.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• BPD instances triggered by start message events must not be
  created when the message contains a condition that evaluates to
  false. However, these BPD instances are created. To rectify the
  situation, a cleanup is performed in the same database
  transaction. If the cleanup fails (perhaps because of a database
  deadlock), some BPD instance references remain in the database.
  These references are still visible and cause the BPD instances
  to be unusable.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that corrects the error
  handling so that no instance fragments remain after the
  instance creation is rejected by the start message condition.
