JR54350: OPTIONS ARE NOT REFRESHED\UPDATED WHEN THE SELECTED TIMER EVENT IS CHANGED.

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Labeling in the dropdown is misleading (After start of Parent
  Process or Subprocess) on Boundary Timer and Intermediate
  Timer. They have different Trigger-on options.
  
  The intermediate timer (in-line) has for the first option
  "After Start of Parent Process or Subprocess" which in itself
  is misleading. While the Boundary (attached) timer has for the
  first option "After Start of Step".
  
  The main problem is the wrong DD option list is showing against
  a given timer type.  This seems to be random and it is as if
  the BPD can only show one type of option list at once
  (regardless of what timer type you are on). So both types of
  timer could show the Intermediate timer event DD option list or
  visa versa. This is making options available that should not be
  there and when it is the other way around it is not showing
  options that should be there. If you have selected specific
  options previously it is difficult to know what was chosen as
  it could be showing the wrong DD list at that time, making it
  very difficult to trust.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• Reopen the BPD editor and select the timer that you want to
  view\edit the trigger.
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be incorporated into a later release that refreshes
  the options in the timer trigger combo according to the selected
  timer event.
