APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You experience the following usability issues in the Service
  editor:
  
  -When a service from a dependent toolkit is opened, the user
  task and a subprocess are too similar to distinguish on a flow
  canvas.
  -If link labels are long, you cannot view gateway conditions,
  which are entered on gateway's implementation property page.
  -The size of a service diagram might be too small to completely
  display connections.
  -Names that are too long for step labels prevent changes from
  being saved.
  -Scripts that are too long for gateway conditions prevent
  changes from being saved.
  -Errors might be logged when you work with gateways.
  -A link might attach to the right side of a gateway.
