APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you try to upload images that have a high-aspect ratio to a
  web file on the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) server by
  using IBM Process Designer, you receive the following
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
  
  Argument not valid exception when uploading some images using
  managed file editor.
  
  This exception occurs, for example, when you create a web file
  by using an image and, from the Managed File editor, browse and
  upload a high-aspect ratio file, such as red_1x400.png.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• Do not stretch images too much before uploading them as managed
  files.  For example, instead of uploading red_1x400.png upload
  1x150.png or 3x400.png.
  

Problem summary

• In Process Designer images with very large or very small aspect
  ratios cannot be scaled. Before IBM BPM V8.0.1, you see this
  exception when the width/height ratio or height/width ratio of
  the image is greater than 200.  In IBM BPM V8.0.1 and later
  versions, you see this exception if the width/height ratio is
  greater than 200 or the height/width ratio is greater than 150.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.09
  (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24042580) that
  corrects the scaling issue and allows you to use Process
  Designer to upload images that have high-aspect ratios.
