APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• USER AFFECTED:
  Business user (Bob) exporting a process app from Process Center
  in BPMN format.

  changing the subprocess activity to another activity type, then
  deleting the BPD. Exporting a snapshot in BPMN format at this
  point will fail.
  .

Local fix

• Copy the BPDs to be exported into a new Process Application and
  export from there.
  

Problem summary

• The cause was isolated to the BPMN export failing due to
  leftover BPDs with a broken parent reference in the process app.
  This is reproduced as follows:
  
  1. Create a BPD.
  2. Drop an activity, change the implementation to Subprocess,
  and save.
  3. Change the implementation to User Task and save.
  4. Delete the BPD.
  5. Create a snapshot.
  6. Go back to Process Center and export the snapshot in BPMN
  format.
  
  Exporting as twx succeeds but the archive includes the BPD for
  the subprocess created in step 2.
  
  Expected Result:
  The subprocess BPD should be deleted after the save in step 3,
  allowing the snapshot to be exported in BPMN format.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix included in V8. This will also be inlcuded in a 7.5.1
  cumulative maintenance deliverable targetting 3Q2012.
  

Temporary fix
