APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If an undercover agent (UCA) has Variable as its implementation and the variable is a complex business object, clicking the Run Now button does not work as expected and causes an exception in the SystemOut.log file. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Use UCA with implementation as service.
Problem summary
The complex variable is included as part of a hidden service with a script that assigns each of the inner parameters of the variable to their respective output variables in this service. When the Run Now button is clicked, the script runs and tries to get the value for the inner parameters, but you see the following error because the variable isn't initialized: Cannot read property from undefined.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 that updates the script in the hidden service for a UCA with implementation as variable. The script checks if the complex variable is defined before assigning values for the inner parameters. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR53372: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your 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 JR53372, 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.
