JR54945: INSPECTOR DEBUG MODE NOT SHOWING INFLIGHT VARIABLE VALUE

8.5.5.0-WS-BPM-IFJR54945
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• While debugging a business process definition (BPD), Process
  Inspector in IBM Process Designer allows you to monitor values
  of the variables. However, this feature does not work properly
  when a coach is completed by clicking a select box or radio
  button. Instead, a SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException
  causes a TeamWorksException like the following exception:
  
  com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException: ORA-01400:
  cannot insert NULL into
  ("PCBPMDB"."LSW_STORED_SYMBOL_TABLE"."TASK_ID")
  This exception is wrapped into
  com.lombardisoftware.client.delegate.
   BusinessDelegateException:java.lang.RuntimeException: Could
   not evaluate expression
  at com.lombardisoftware.client.delegate.
    BusinessDelegateException.asBusinessDelegateException

Local fix

Problem summary

• Process Designer creates services without an encompassing task
  if the services are to be debugged. However, while navigating a
  service, an attempt is made to write the non-existing task ID
  into a database column where a null ID is not allowed.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that prevents
  the task ID to be written into the database if there is no
  encompassing task.
