Error description
You receive an error in the Document Attachment control when you create a document that has a file name that starts with an "x" and no title. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Add a title or rename the file without starting with "x", "u", or any character that becomes a special character by adding a backslash.
Problem summary
When the title for a document is not provided, the document attachment control uses the path of the file as the title. When the file path contains a document starting with "x", the document name then contains the path, which includes "\x" (for example C:\fakepath\x1.txt). Because "\x" is a special character, when the server returns a JSON string with this character the JSON becomes invalid, which causes an error when the documents are being retrieved. Any character that becomes a special character by adding a backslash (\) causes this issue.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be incorporated into a later release that extracts the file name from the path when a document is added. The fix also escapes the characters returned in the JSON by the server to avoid other similar problems.
