APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You might notice that the IBM Workflow Center Indexer might seem
  to stop updating and newer assets are no longer being added to
  the index. As a result, the References function and Workflow
  Center searches might not return newly created assets. If you
  enable a trace on the server, you might see the following error
  while the index is enabled:
  
  [6/11/20 16:21:11:582 CEST] 00000112 DefaultReposi 3
  com.ibm.bpm.artifact.indexer.artifactstore.repo.DefaultRepositoy
  ArtifactStoreReaderResultSet postProcessDeletes Wraperring and
  rethrowing exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
  fromIndex(200) > toIndex(100) as:
  com.ibm.bpm.index.core.impl.ArtifactIndexerException: Exception
  occured when post processing deletions: fromIndex(200) >
  toIndex(100)
  
  When the index is automatically being updated, the deletion
  might fail if numerous references (over 200) are being deleted
  at once. Because the indexer processes deletions first, the
  index completely stops being updated if this problem occurs.
