Error description
There are multiple issues with the current Date support in visibility rules 1) need to store the value in canonical form e.g. UTC time instead of value --- otherwise the value could be interpreted incorrectly due to timezone, daylight saving time difference 2) generated code has incorrect javascript syntax IMPACT: - visibility rule with Date will not work - not all variables are generated in certain conditions - lists for primitive types won't have the "contains" operator properly supported - incorrect modeled rules will not flag exception AFFECTED PRODUCTS: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Problem summary
Some coach views may not respect the visibility rules that are assigned to them in the coach designer. Specifically, if a coach view has a visibility option that references a date array, or references a variable that is not used elsewhere in the coach, there may be some issues with how the coach respects the visibility setting.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM 8.5.0.0 that fixes the code associated with the coach view visibility processing. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR46860: 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 JR46860, 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.
