Error description

• If a snapshot is deleted, the associated exposed process
  variable values (EPV values) are not deleted.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If a snapshot is deleted, the associated exposed process
  variable values (EPV values) are not deleted. If the deleted
  snapshot is imported again, the previously configured values of
  the EPVs are used again. Because the values are not deleted, the
  related table in the database grows continuously, which causes
  performance issues, such as the EPV page loading slowly in the
  Process Admin Console because of there are numerous entries in
  the table.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 that deletes the
  belonging EPV values too when a snapshot is deleted.
