JR62013: SERVICES THAT HAVE WEB SERVICE INTEGRATIONS CREATED IN OLDER RELEASES CAN'T BE CONVERTED

workflow.20001.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using the web IBM Process Designer, you can convert your
  integration services into service flows. However, converting an
  integration service that contains a web service integration
  might fail and one of the following exceptions might be logged
  to the SystemOut.log file:

Local fix

• Before you start the conversion,
  
  1. Open the integration service in the desktop Process Designer.
  2. Click the web service integration step.
  3. On the Implementation tab, toggle the operation of the web
  service invocation to None and back.
  4. On the Data Mapping tab, re do the data mapping and save the
  process application.
  5. In the web Process Designer, start the conversion.
  

Problem summary

• The integration service conversion function requires certain
  properties to be set in a web service integration. Some of those
   properties were newly introduced in IBM Business Process
  Manager V8.5.6 and, therefore, are missing in process
  application and toolkit files (.twx files) created in versions
  before V8.5.6.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that enables the conversion of an integration service that
   contains a web service integration from earlier releases, which
   doesn't have certain properties set, is planned for inclusion
  in a future release of Business Automation Workflow.
