Downloading IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2016.12

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a list variable bound to a table is evaluated to be empty
  in a validation script and the validation framework is set to
  show a message to indicate this state, the validation error does
  not show.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The validation on the table was removed with interim fix JR56592
  because
  -If there are 50 cells in a table, each having a validation
  error, 50 validation errors would show below the table, which
  would be too a long list.
  -The table being only a container, it's not necessary to have
  validation errors to display at the table level; they should
  just be isolated to the cells.
  
  We did not consider the use case highlighted in this APAR
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.12
  that re-establishes the capability to display validation markers
  on the Table, not only the cells within it.
