JR54481: DEBUG VIEW SHOWS WRONG REFERENCES FOR VARIABLES OF THE RECORD DATA TYPE

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

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Debug view shows the wrong references for variables that
  have the RECORD data type. The Debug view shows an ID
  (tw-id="id:0") for  first occurrence of a value ("5"). If this
  value occurs a second time, a reference to the ID is shown
  (tw-ref="id:0") and,  in the Debug view, the value ("5") is not
  displayed. Because the number of the referenced ID is always 0,
  sometimes the wrong values are referenced.
  
  This example explains the wrong behavior:
  
  The input for the displayed data contains two array elements.
  5,4,3
  5,1,3
  
  the wrong  behavior:
  object type="Record[]">
    <arrayElement size="6">
      <item type="Record">
        <property name="VALUE1" type="Integer"
          tw-id="id:0">5</property>
        <property name="VALUE2" type="Integer">4</property>
        <property name="VALUE3" type="Integer"
          tw-id="id:0">3</property> <|-- wrong id -->
  
   </item>
      <item type="Record">
        <property name="VALUE1" type="Integer" tw-ref="id:0" />
  <|-- correct reference -->
        <property name="VALUE2" type="Integer">1</property>
        <property name="VALUE3" type="Integer" tw-ref="id:0" />
  <|-- wrong reference -->
  
   </item>
  
  The expected  behavior is
  
  object type="Record[]">
    <arrayElement size="6">
      <item type="Record">
        <property name="VALUE1" type="Integer"
          tw-id="id:0">5</property>
        <property name="VALUE2" type="Integer">4</property>
        <property name="VALUE3" type="Integer"
          tw-id="id:1">3</property>
  
   </item>
      <item type="Record">
        <property name="VALUE1" type="Integer" tw-ref="id:0" />
        <property name="VALUE2" type="Integer">1</property>
        <property name="VALUE3" type="Integer" tw-ref="id:1"/>
  
   </item>
