PM84235: Unable to use 'Display according to task type' in BPMN using SA v11.4.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 'Display according to task type' in System Architect v11.4.2
  will display the Process symbol as the default and not the Task
  Type stereotype
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a new Business Process diagram
  2. Add a new Process symbol
  3. Go to the Execution tab and change the Task Type to 'Script'
  4. Right-click on the symbol and select 'Display according to
  Task Type'
  
  NOTE: The 'Adorn with Task Type' works fine and the stereotype
  is correctly added to the Process symbol.
  
  No known workarounds available

  "Display according to task type" in System Architect v11.4.2
  will display the Process symbol as the default and not the
  Task Type stereotype
  

Problem conclusion

• Existing behavior was defined to ensure presentation to BPMN
  standards. Also the request would mean that users would not
  be able to obtain a depictionless Process symbol. It is for
  these reasons that the existing behavior is retained. An ini
  switch has been provided that will allow presentation of the
  full-sized depiction in place of the depictionless Process
  symbol, BPMN_AllowFullDepictionForProcess. This is available
  in the Session Options tool and this explains its use.
