Local fix
Problem summary
The tw.system.serializer.toXml JavaScript API allows a TWObject as input that is then parsed and converted into XML. However, if the TWObject contains a string that contains invalid XML characters, such as control characters 0x01 or 0x02, you receive an IllegalDataException.
Problem conclusion
A fix that automatically removes invalid characters in string input so that the string is XML compliant - will be available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 - will be in an IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 Cumulative Fix On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR53951: 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 JR53951, 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. For the fix to take effect, you must activate it by setting the following configuration flag in the 100Custom.xml file and restarting the server: <server> <autocorrect-xml>true</autocorrect-xml> </server>
