JR61903: AN ACTIVITY SEQUENCE FLOW CAN LOOP ON THE SAME TARGET AND DESTINATION PORT

workflow.20001.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a web IBM Process Designer diagram,  you can create a
  sequence flow that starts and ends in the same port location on
  the same activity, thereby creating a loop. Although this
  scenario is valid, the visualization of the sequence flow in
  this case is a small arrow. If another connection shares the
  same port location, the looping connection might be hidden,
  causing unexpected results at run time. Furthermore, it is
  difficult to determine where the the hidden sequence flow is in
  the diagram.

  Workflow.
