JR62344: VARIABLES IN SERVICE FLOWS ARE HANDLED AS CASE INSENSITIVE ALTHOUGH THEY SHOULD BE HANDLED AS CASE SENSITIVE

workflow.20001.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Variables in service flows and services are handled as case
  insensitive although they should be handled as case sensitive,
  which might lead to issues if multiple variables with the same
  name but different casings are used. In such scenarios, a type
  mismatch error might occur.

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available or will be available that guarantees
  variables are handled as case sensitive if the following lines
  are added to the 100Custom.xml configuration file:
  
  <server>
      <service-engine>
  
  <enforce-pre20001-variable-handling>false</enforce-pre20001-vari
  able-handling>
      </service-engine>
  </server>
  
  Before changing this configuration in a production environment,
  test your process applications in a test environment. After you
  set the value of this compatibility configuration property to
  false, variables are handled correctly; the upper and lowercase
  styles are honored.
