APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When you define an external implementation in IBM Process Designer, you define input and output parameters that define the interface of the external implementation. For each parameter, you define a name, the type, and whether the parameter is a list. In a business process definition (BPD), you can choose your external implementation as an implementation for a user task. In the data mapping section, you specify which variable data is passed. When you run the BPD, you expect that only valid input data can be mapped into the external implementation that matches its input parameter specification. Instead, any data can be passed without an error.
Local fix
Problem summary
When the input mapping for a task is implemented by an external implementation, no data type checking is performed.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that checks the type of the input data in the same way as if the task is implemented by a service with the same interface. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR56249: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR56249, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
