Downloading IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2016.09

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You can use the JavaScript API to retrieve the task object from
  the database. This API contains multiple date fields that are
  accessible, such as startDate, activationTime, completionTime,
  or atRiskDate. These properties are implemented as objects of
  type TWDate, an object that, in turn, provides several
  JavaScript API functions. Invoking those API functions result in
  the following error:
  
  CWTBG0570E: A 'start' action could not be performed due to
  [<358message:Runtime error in script ("TypeError"
  4:-1).TypeError: Cannot find function getDate in object Mon Jun
  06 13:52:29 CEST 2016. (<JSScript>#4)
  
  The error does not occur for the dueDate field.
  

Local fix

• In IBM Process Designer, create a local variable of type Date
  and initialize it with the value from the task. You can then use
  the local variable for accessing the JavaScript APIs for the
  date fields.
  

Problem summary

• This issue occurs because the TWDate objects are not created in
  the correct scope.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in  IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.06
  that creates the TWDate objects in the correct scope so that the
  underlying functions are accessible.
