JR52998: INTERRUPTING A PROCESS WITH AN EVENT SUBPROCESS LEAVES TOKENS ON SEQUENCE FLOWS

8.0.1.3-WS-BPM-IFJR52998
8.0.1.2-WS-BPM-IFJR52998
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a message event that is specified to interrupt its parent
  process starts a event subprocess, the parent process still
  continues to navigate sequence flows if these sequence flows
  still have tokens.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When the parent process should be interrupted by an event
  subprocess, IBM BPM does not discard available tokens on
  sequence flows. Only tokens on activities are discarded.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 that discards the tokens
  on sequence flows also to ensure the parent process is
  interrupted correctly.
