Error description
The tw.system.calculateBusinessDate JavaScript function determines an expiration date (in this case, SLA date) based on a start date, a time, and a calendar. For example, if the calendar is (M-T 8: 00-18:00 / F 8:00-15:00), when Thursday at 16:00 is the starting date of the calculation and date requested is 1 business day after, Friday at 8:00 is the return date when it should be Monday at 8:00. This issue occurs with any start time on Thursday after 15:00. For example, if the start date and end date of the calculation have different hours for the end of day, this issue also occurs. Therefore, for all requests that start after 15:00 with SLA time of X days and beginning X days before Friday, tw.system.calculateBusinessDate is miscalculated.
Local fix
Problem summary
When the JavaScript function 'targetDate = calculateBusinessDate( startDate, n, "Day", workSchedule)' is evaluated, the returned targetDate might be incorrect in the following scenarios: -When the intermediate result 'startDate + n working days' is not within the workSchedule's time schedule. The beginning of the next working day is incorrectly used on the interim date as final result. -When the final result is on a holiday. The result is not corrected to the beginning of the following working day.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 that uses the beginning of the next working day as the correct interim result and the following working day as the final result if the interim result is on a holiday.
