IJ15792: NON PERSISTENT TABLE AND WORK FLOW CONDITION NODE ISSUES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Not able to validate work flow process that references non
  persistent field in process.
  When trying to modify two workflow processes (PR and
  PO) encounter the following error when validating the new
  revisions:
  
  "BMXAA8882E - -1 is not a valid data type for the object/table
  PO, and attribute totalbasecost."
  
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. In the work flow designer application create a new process
  against the PO table and add a start node, condition node, task
  node and then stop node. Connect the nodes with positive lines.
  Add 1 more stop node under the condition node and connect a
  negative line from the condition node to the stop node.
  
  2. Right click on the condition node and add the query of
  :totalbasecost > 0 and save, in the task node add the
  originator role save. Try and validate the process all works.
  
  3. create a new revision and change the query to
  
  :totalbasecost > (select 0 from dual)
  
  Results:
  
  an error is thrown when trying to validate
  
  BMXAA8882E - -1 is not a valid data type for the object/table
  PO, and attribute totalbasecost."
  
  
  Expected Results:
  
  Allow validation without error
