APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
After you clone an application, the cloned instance has incorrect lines in IBM Process Designer, many (if not all) Heritage Human Services throw errors in the logs upon execution, and the application is unusable. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
To enable the process app to progress further until hitting the next error (where next dashed line occurs), delete and re-create the dashed line links.
Problem summary
This issue occurs because there is a circular dependency: a nested service in an ancestor service refers to a descendant service that is wired from the start to the end node and a nested service in the descendant service refers to an ancestor service that is wired to the start or end node; you select both services in the navigator and choose Duplicate, Copy, or Move. When the action is complete, one of the links in the first service duplicated., copied, or moved has an unset endpoint binding.
Problem conclusion
A fix that corrects the following problems will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.06: -When you clone a service that has an endpoint binding where a circular reference is created within the bindings, the reference that is saved internally first will have an incorrect mapping ID. This incorrect mapping ID causes the editor to display the link as a dotted line. -For a variable-type UCA, additional checks are added to prevent validation errors from being found when cloning has completed.
Temporary fix
