PI95195: COMPONENT PROCESS PROPERTY VALUE SET AT THE APPLICATION LEVEL INTO WRAPPED COMPONENT PROCESS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There is a use cases where component process properties are not
  passed into child processes correctly. This will result in an
  error indicating that required properties are missing. This can
  be demonstrated with the following steps:
  
  1) Create an operational, no version needed, component process
  and add a component process property. This process can do as
  little as echo the property in a shell step.
  2) Create a second operational, no version needed, component
  process. This process should have a single activity which runs
  the first operational process. The value for the component
  process property should be left as 'Prompt for value on use' or
  'Set a value here' depending on if the legacy option 'Prompt for
  value on use' is enabled.
  3) Create an application process which runs the second, wrapper,
  component process. For the component process property which can
  be given a value specify one.
  4) Execute the application process
  expected: the process resolves in the shell step correctly
  actual: the application process fails because the property is
  not defined. If you examine the application property context and
  the property context of the wrapper component process you will
  see that neither have the property defined in the context.
