PI15736: OP-00002 ERROR OCCURS WHEN LOADING THE ROLE TEMPLATES AFTER OBJECT ASSOCIATIONS ARE DISABLED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the associations are disabled between the Objects that are
  included in the Role template then the Role template fails to
  load and system throws an OP-00002 error message.
  
  This was previously fixed in OP 5.5.2v2 release but doesn't
  appear to be working as expected on the new releaeses. On
  6.0.1.5 environment, we can see that fix is existing with a
  proper message displayed when the Object associations are
  disabled but on 6.2 environment, OP-00002 error message is
  displayed.
  
  It appears like the fix has been removed in 6.2 for some reason.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  1. Build an OP 6.2 environment.
  2. Backup the system using OPBackup.
  3. Open up Internet Explorer (IE8).
  4. Now go to http://<servername>:7009/openpages.
  5. Login with an administrator id (ie: OpenPagesAdministrator).
  6. Go to Administration -> Object Types.
  7. Click on an object type (ie: SOXSubprocess).
  8. On the object type details page, scroll down to 'Parent
  Associations.'
  9. Check to see what the parent associations are and make sure
  that object type can traverse it's way back to SOXBusEntity.
  10. After verifying the hiearchy path of the object type, go to
  Administration -> Role Templates.
  11. Click on the 'Add...' button to create a new role template.
  12. Give your role template a name (ie: myFirstRoleTemplate) and
  leave the other values as defaults.
  13. Click on the 'Next>' button to continue.
  14. Check off some object types and set some ACLs that includes
  the object from step 7 (ie: read-only for SOXBusEntity,
  SOXProcess, SOXSubprocess).
  15. Click on the 'Next>' button to continue.
  16. Set some optional application permissions.
  17. Hit the 'Finish' button to complete the role template.
  18. Optionally assign the role template to some users/groups to
  test it out.
  19. Now assume the customer no longer wants to use the object
  type (from step 7). So the administator would then go to
  Administration -> Object Types.
  20. Find the object type(ie: SOXSubprocess).
  21. Go to top of page and disable System Admin Mode (SAM).
  22. On the object type details page, scroll down to 'Parent
  Associations.'
  23. Disable the parent relationships and make sure the object
  has no path up SOXBusEntity.
  24. Disable SAM.
  25. Now go to Administration -> Role Templates.
  26. Find the role template that you previously created and click
  on it.
  
  Expected Results:
  
  Instead of OP-00002 error, proper message should be displayed
  indicating the missing Object Associations.
  
  Actual Results:
  
  Role Template fails to load with OP-00002 error message.
  

Local fix

• Identify the Object associations that are disabled between the
  Objects included in the Role template and enable the
  associations back again.
