Error description

• In your SCA module, if you use a business object map to map
  the simpleType based on a positiveInteger(xsd:positiveInteger)
  to another positiveInteger and your input data contains a very
  large number, the number overflows in the output data. For
  example, the input 123456789012345 is mapped to -2045911175 in
  the output data.

  The number is converted to an Integer type during the data
  map, causing the large number to overflow to the next line.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that converts the
  number to a BigDecimal type instead of an Integer type to
  avoid the overflow.
