JR53968: UCA MESSAGE EVENTS FOR INTERMEDIATE MESSAGE EVENTS THAT HAVE DURABLE MESSAGE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE LOST WHEN A BPD INSTANCE FAILS

8.0.1.3-WS-BPM-IFJR53968
7.5.1.2-WS-BPM-IFJR53968
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an undercover agent (UCA) is fired, all waiting and
  matching intermediate message events are triggered by that
  message. If a business process definition (BPD) instance is in
  the failed state, the waiting intermediate message events are
  not notified and the messages are discarded even if an
  intermediate message event has durable message subscription
  enabled. The token on such an intermediate message event does
  not move forward after repairing and resuming the failed
  instance although a matching UCA has been fired before.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If a BPD instance is in the failed state, all message events are
  discarded and not delivered to the waiting intermediate message
  events, even if an intermediate message event has durable
  message subscription enabled.

Problem conclusion

• A fix is planned to be made available for IBM BPM V7.5.1.2 that
  retains UCA message events for intermediate message events that
  have durable message subscription enabled while a BPD instance
  is in the failed state until the instance is resumed and
  running in active state again.  At that time, the retained
  message events are delivered to the waiting intermediate
  message events.
