Closed as program error.
Error description
When you run the Process Instances Visual Model REST API, it fails and you receive a NullPointerException unless you enter the optional parameters showCurrentActivites, showNote, and showColor. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Add the optional parameters, for example https://localhost:9443/rest/bpm/wle/v1/visual/processModel/insta nces?instanceIds=%5B5%5D&bpdId=25.91b38204-0959-476b-a997-196686 f8c0d6&snapshotId=2064.57c87361-faf6-4531-be64-882f5918cf1a&bran chId=2063.da19f854-85bf-4b6e-a0bc-8d4735146e02&showCurrentActivi tes=true&showNote=true&showColor=true
Problem summary
No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
A fix that enables the Process Instances Visual Model REST API to run even when the optional parameters showCurrentActivites, showNote, and showColor are not set, thereby preventing the NullPointerException from occurring, will be included in a future release of IBM BPM.
Temporary fix
