JR57675: THE CLIENT-SIDE HUMAN SERVICE DOESN'T HANDLE A VARIABLE TYPE PROPERLY

bpm.8570.cf2017.06.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The client-side human service doesn't handle the variable type
  properly when a variable with the same name but a different
  business object type is defined within the nested client-side
  human services. When one of the variables is a List variable and
  the variable is used within a coach, an error referring to a
  JavaScript array function can occur. As a result of the error,
  the coach might be blank.
  
  You can see an error like
  
  Uncaught TypeError: this.listAllSelectedIndices.join is not a
  function
  
  in the browser's developer tools or web console, depending on
  your browser.
  
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• Rename one of the variables to make it unique within the set of
  client-side human services used by the root client-side human
  service.
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.06
  that corrects how variable types are handled and, therefore,
  prevents the error from occurring.
  

Temporary fix
