JR63387: DATA MAPPINGS ARE NOT SAVED WHEN A VARIABLE IS ADDED TO A NESTED SERVICE OR PROCESS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a variable is added to a nested service or process and the
  associated data mapping is also updated within the same save,
  the data mapping change is not saved. If the parent artifact is
  a service or process, the data mapping can still be displayed in
   the web IBM Process Designer even though it does not exist. You
   might see the following validation error in the web Process
  Designer:
  "No input parameter mapping found for parameter without default:
  myNewInput"
  

Local fix

• To correct a broken data mapping, follow these steps:
  1. Delete the value in the current data mapping that is not
  working properly.
  2. Save the changes.
  3. Add the desired value back to the data mapping.
  4. Save the changes.
  
  To avoid the issue, consider this development practice:
  When you add an input or output to an artifact, save your
  changes before you make any further edits like updating data
  mappings.
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  
  PRODUCT AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Automation Workflow.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available or will be available that ensures data
  mapping integrity.
