JR54100: IN PROCESS CENTER STATIC CODE OF COMMON JAVA ASSETS DOES NOT RUN FOR EACH SNAPSHOT

8.0.1.3-WS-BPM-IFJR54100
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If managed assets are common between snapshots, the static code
  for Java assets runs only once in IBM Process Center. For
  example, if you run code in ProcessApp1 for snapshot 1.0, the
  static code block is loaded and used. If you then run code in
  ProcessApp1 for snapshot 1.1, the static code block loaded from
  snapshot 1.0 is used again.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• In Process Center, the same ManagedAssetClassLoader is used
  across multiple snapshots of a process application if the assets
  are common. This is unexpected behavior and not the same
  behavior as on IBM Process Server.
  

Problem conclusion

• When this APAR is installed and the trace
  com.ibm.ws.classloader.*=all is set, information about the BPM
  Managed Asset Class loader is printed to the trace file. This
  can be used for diagnostic purposes.
  com.lombardisoftware.server.core.ManagedAssetClassLoader
  initial cache size={0}
  com.lombardisoftware.server.core.ManagedAssetClassLoader
  current classloaderMap size={1}
  com.lombardisoftware.server.core.ManagedAssetClassLoader
  initial resourceMapSize={2}
  com.lombardisoftware.server.core.ManagedAssetClassLoader
  current resourceMap.size()={3}
  com.lombardisoftware.server.core.ManagedAssetClassLoader
  current locationMap.size()={4}
  A fix will be available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 that creates a
  ManagedAssetClassLoader for each snapshot and tip of a process
  application. Therefore, the static code block (and static
  initialization code) of a managed Java class asset will run for
  every snapshot and tip.
