APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When you use the REST API /exposed to retrieve exposed services, or if you use IBM Process Portal (which invokes the API to populate the Launch tab in the right pane of the My Work page, in addition to the Dashboards menu), the API retrieves each service in each toolkit that each process application snapshot refers to. With a large number of snapshots that refer to toolkits, the set of services that the API returns can grow large, with some services being duplicated when multiple snapshots of the same application are deployed. As a result, the API might perform slowly. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Problem summary
The /exposed REST API does not provide an option for filtering the services that are exposed in toolkits that snapshots refer to. As a result, each exposed service in a toolkit is included in the API's result set, once for the toolkit itself plus once for each time a process application snapshot refers to the toolkit.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.0 and V8.5.0.1 that adds a new parameter, excludeReferencedFromToolkit, to the exposed services REST API, and adds a corresponding configuration property, com.ibm.bpm.portal.excludeReferencedFromToolkit, to the Mashups_ConfigService provider that Process Portal uses. The new parameter and new property allow you to specify the following multiple subtypes (comma-separated): administration_service dashboard startable_service url When you specify a service subtype, exposed services of that subtype within toolkits are not included in any application context that refers to them and, therefore, is included only once in the API result set (for the toolkit itself). On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR51596: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR51596, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
