A fix is available
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When viewing exposed process values (EPVs) in the Process Admin Console (Admin Tools > Manage EPVs) the Description section displays HTML code tags instead of the description text.
Local fix
Problem summary
In IBM BPM V7.5.xx, the description of EPVs was stored in plain text. In IBM BPM V8.x, the text is stored in HTML. Security fixes ported from the V7.5.x versions still use the plain text format, which shows the HTML source text instead of the description.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in an IBM BPM V8.5.6 cumulative fix that corrects the rendering to display the text again instead of the HTML. To determine whether the cumulative fix is available and download it if it is, complete the following steps on Fix Central: 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 Text, enter ?cumulative fix?, and click Continue.
