ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended: This error occurs while the temporary tables are cleaned up. To workaround this error you should follow these steps: 1- Edit the drop_interim_tables.sql script of the schema you're migrating and remove the PURGE command. For example replace lines like: DROP TABLE MIGRATION55_FDI.int_fuego_migration CASCADE CONSTRAINTS PURGE; by: DROP TABLE MIGRATION55_FDI.int_fuego_migration CASCADE CONSTRAINTS; 2- Run the drop_interim_tables.sql.

APIs

PAPI cache gets opened once maximum cache size is reached. From now on, there is a new PAPI property, "fuego.papi.cache.increment.percent", that allows PAPI Instance Cache to grow. If the instance cache of certain process reaches its maximum size, PAPI will increase the cache size for the process as indicated by such property. Besides, it will start logging warnings.

JSP compile error after accessing the engine name link on 5.7 Process Administrator deployed on WebLogic 8.1.6. (Issue #27569)

Workaround: Configure WL 'JSP Compiler Options' the '-noTryBlocks' option
Process Administrator: 'Name admin is not bound in this Context' message when 'Re-load Information from the Directory' button is pressed in J2EE environment. (Issue #28640)

Process Execution Engine

ALBPM Engine, unable to process MQSeries messages correctly while trying to use a Global Automatic implemented as a JMSListener. (Issue #22871)
ALBPM Engine, Null Pointer Exception detected when DB is not fully started in a J2EE environment. (Issue #22979)

ALBPM Engine, activity runs again even though it should have be aborted. (Issue #28646)

Designer and Studio

ALBPM Studio CVS is not handling the File-In-The-Way condition properly. Local Fuego Object or Process gets overwritten without warning when updating an object with the same name from CVS. (Issue #16410)
Component Library, CalendarRules computeDate method does not work well on negative time intervals. (Issue #24023)
Fuego Objects, presentation labels are not shown in the localization dialog unless you click on the label of the presentation. (Issue #24671)

Workaround: - Close the localization dialog
- Click on the missing label in the presentation opened in the main pane
- Open the localization dialog again
ALBPM Studio, resizing of the localization dialog modifies the edited label. (Issue #24700)
Component Library, arguments not being passed properly to process that is exposed as web services. (Issue #24856)

Workaround: Do not use underscores in argument names if you are exposing your process as a webservice
Fuego Object, 'name' attribute not properly generated in web services call. (Issue #25160)

Workaround: instead of using the extend method to add elements to the array, create the element first and then use the other way of adding elements:
updateEMasterRequest.adsRequest.asset.properties.segments.segment[]=tmp;

doing this, the code should end up being something like this:
for(int i = 0; i<argEMasterEncoding.recordlist.record.length; i++)
{
Segment tmp = new Segment();
tmp.name=argEMasterEncoding.recordlist.record[i].segmenttitle, attributes;
tmp.inPoint=argEMasterEncoding.recordlist.record[i].inpoint;
tmp.outPoint = argEMasterEncoding.recordlist.record[i].outpoint;
tmp.segmentAudioTypeKey : SegmentAudioTypeKey(argEMasterEncoding.recordlist.record[i].audiosegmenttype);
tmp.segmentVideoTypeKey : SegmentVideoTypeKey(argEMasterEncoding.recordlist.record[i].videosegmenttype);
tmp.toRemove = false;

updateEMasterRequest.adsRequest.asset.properties.segments.segment.extend[] = tmp;
}
Component Library, fuego.lang.Time.getSeconds() returns a wrong value for dates > 1/19/2038. (Issue #25416)
(Issue #25602)

Workaround: In ALBPM Studio, an exception occurs when executing a "Call Notification Wait" global create activity linked to a screenflow.
An error occurs when using type Int variables with the PAPI block with "between" filter. (Issue #26094)

Workaround: Use greater and less than comparisions (in on papi filter) instead of between comparision.
Fuego Objects, publication fails when process has int var with same name as logical OU. (Issue #26349)
(Issue #26412)
Component Library: Catalog Compilation Exception when overriding BAMQuery execute method. (Issue #26540)

Workaround: Create a plain BPM object and call BAMQuery.execute, instead of adding an object that inherits behaviour from BAMQuery (and calling its execution by super.execute).
ALBPM Studio, simulation error - resources chart is empty when using fixed resources. (Issue #26668)
ALBPM Studio, incorrect namespace generated when introspecting a BizTalk web service. (Issue #27111)

Workaround: Wrong namespace introspection when two namespaces differs only in one '/' character at the end.
ALBPM Studio, unqualified elements generate by Biz Talk web services are shown as qualified. (Issue #27112)
Component Library, schema definition for the exported organizational data is missing. (Issue #27431)
ALBPM Studio, the Configuration dialog in the Simulation pane refuses to open if the OU's CalendarRule has no HolidayRule defined (Issue #27632)

Workaround: The problem occurs because the calendar rule defined in the OU doesn't have any holiday rule associated.

So the workaround is:

-Create a HolidayRule (no need to add any holiday to the rule)
-Add the HolidayRule to the Calendar Rule

Thanks Sandra :)
ALBPM Studio, simulation throws java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero when the process distribution type is "Exponential" . (Issue #28003)
ALBPM Studio, "Expression is expected" during compilation of a Screenflow with conditional transitions. (Issue #28427)

WorkSpace or End User Components

ALBPM WorkSpace: AssertionError invoking server side method from a Fuego Object presentation. (Issue #22901)

Workaround: Fill the BO attributes with the valid values in an automatic step before calling the presentation in order to prevent the call to a server side method in every presentation refresh.
ALBPM WorkSpace, a back apostrophe at the beginning of a presentation text box field gets handled incorrectly. (Issue #25073)

Workaround: There are many workarounds to this issue such as below:

if myname = "`" then
//then use regular expression 'Search and replace' on page 1761 in Studio57doc.pdf
//Or myname = "Please enter a valid Myname value"
logMessage "test"
end

However, the customer doesn't want to do this for every single textbox. For example, if the form had 50 textboxes, then the work around needs to applied 50 times.
ALBPM WE, when using the fetchMatchingName method of DirHuman with a max parameter value of 0, instances based on this code will cause a failure in the Identity Service. (Issue #25134)

Workaround: The only workaround is to specify a non-zero value for the max parameter value of fetchMatchingName.
ALBPM WorkSpace, setting "performnexttask=true" in portal.properties does not work in ALBPM WE. (Issue #25953)
ALBPM WorkSpace, using invoke() in JSP does not work in ALBPM WE. (Issue #25986)

Workaround: Pass a parameter to the JSP in the argument mapping window, set the parameter equal to the return value of the FBO method call. So it seems when the method is executed in the context of ALBPM instead of in the context of the JSP everything is OK.
ALBPM WorkSpace, views with multiple assignment conditions do not function properly in ALBPM WE. (Issue #26193)
ALBPM WorkSpace, Globals icon not available in Process under ALBPM WE. (Issue #26248)
ALBPM WorkSpace, setting "fuego.portal.autoRefreshMenuOption=true" does not work in ALBPM WE. (Issue #26301)
ALBPM WorkSpace, using setVisible method visible=false to hide components in a presentation - the components are hidden, but the cell itself is not completely hidden. (Issue #26551)
ALBPM WorkSpace, email notification URL does not switch to https when the portal is configured to run in https. (Issue #26967)

Workaround: Create a custom notification email process within the project which allows you to define and construct the contents of the email.
The deployment of the Process Administrator war file generates WebLogic Server warning messages (Issue #27266)
ALBPM WE, the ear and war files downloaded for the Engine EAR and Workspace WAR are zip files and cannot be uncompressed properly. (Issue #27369)
In WorkSpace, arguments are improperly being passed into activities when executing from the HTML Process API. (Issue #27918)
ALBPM WorkSpace, the executionDispatcher is not returning to the correct URL when used in faces files associated with the ALBPM portlets when iexecView is set to 0 and the target is "_top", "_self", or "_parent". (Issue #28333)
ALBPM WE, role assignment for a user through an addition in group membership causes an error when attempting to use the Process portlets. (Issue #28336)

Workaround: Restart the engine (which is an inelegant solution).
ALBPM WorkSpace, attachments built in array is not being populated in a JSP using ALBPM Portlets. (Issue #28408)
ALBPM WorkSpace, istance's trail is not completely rendered at Process Image in Audit Trail page for some cases. (Issue #28536)
ALBPM WorkSpace, ItemAlreadyExecutedException occurs when submitting the same form twice breaks a screenflow execution on portlets. (Issue #28637)
ALBPM WorkSpace, portlets are not working when are deployed in containers configured to use https encryption. (Issue #28647)

Known Issues

APIs

Default views are not properly generated due a encoding problem, SAXParseException found in logs. (Issue #20613)

Workaround: 1) In BPM Process Administrator, export the views (Organizational Settings -> Export -> Views) and edit the export XML file. Delete all non-ascii characters and import them back again.

This bug only takes for the first project deployed and no other projects exists in the Directory Service and the "default views" are generated. A second alternative workaround is to always keep a dummy deployed project (ie: HelloWorld) and avoid generating the default views.
getInstancesByFilter PAPI method randomly returns incorrect number of instances in process (0) (Issue #21484)

Workaround: Wait for the PAPI cache to be available, that means completely filled (closed), before starting querying on it. Take into account that every time no participant is connected to the ProcessService the PAPI cache will begin to be filled with the first participant operation.

Designer and Studio

Invalid cast syntax in FBL language produce and CatalogCompilationException since it is not detected by the process checker. (Issue #19020)

Workaround: Instead of:

result = (Employee) ServerSession.retrieveObjectFrom(name : key, defaultValue : null)

use:

result = Employee(ServerSession.retrieveObjectFrom(name : key, defaultValue : null) )
NullPointerException when moving tree nodes between folders. The nodes dissapear. (Issue #19040)

Workaround: Reopen the project again and everything is shown correctly.
UniqueIdentifier SQL data type in MS SQL Server 2005 is not supported. (Issue #19062)

Workaround: Change the UniqueIdentifier data type to an int type. Re-instrospect the SQL Component and it will properly catalogued.
When a new attribute is added to a BPM Object, this new attribute is not refreshed in the Studio BPM Object Structure panel. (Issue #19430)

Workaround: Close and open the project and all attributes will be properly presented in the BPM Object Structure panel.
StackOverflow occurs when using inheritance while designing BPM Objects in Studio. (Issue #19480)

Workaround: After updating an abstract BPM Object who is inherited by other BPM Objects and is and before opening a member from those objects that inherit its behaviour close all opened editors. In this way the StackOverflow does not take place.
Simulation stops with an AssertionError error message. (Issue #20615)

Workaround: It seems that there is a problem assigning resources to interactive activities.<br>To prevent this problem from happening, go to the simulation Configuration Panel and assign fix resources to all interactive activities.

A second workaround is to edit the Studio LAX file and remove the -ea Java startup argument.

Note: the problem will continue happening but the user will not see the assertion error message.
Project check only throws a warning when arguments from parent and child SF are not correct, while publishing fails. (Issue #20784)

Workaround: Edit the subscreenflow properties and map the missing arguments
A NullPointerException is raised when trying to select a widget for a new Dashboard. (Issue #22570)

Workaround: If you take a look under projectPath/dashboards/widgets, you will find an XML file for each one of the widgets in the created dashboard. The title font for one of these widgets was not properly created. If a font is specified, the NullPointerException will be solved.
A Web Service method argument is missing after introspecting a WSDL when it is defined as a sequence with no element in it. (Issue #22625)

Workaround: Add a dummy element to the empty sequence definition in the WSDL and re-introspect the Web Service WSDL again.
Confusing warning message when a CIL that contains a commented sql 'value' clause is published. (Issue #22698)

Workaround: Uncomment the "values" clause.
Cannot add a widget when creating a new dashboard from the component catalog. (Issue #22742)

Workaround: Create the dashboard without a widget and then add it manually to the presentation

WorkSpace or End User Components

Can't grab instances assigned to another participant using IE browser when you have more than one browser window opened. (Issue #21485)

Workaround: Connect to the Workspace using the first IE opened browser window.
Perform next task feature does not work after user selects transition for an instance. (Issue #21709)

Workaround: Use a Screenflow instead of multiple interactive activities in sequence
Some views shown in the WorkSpace menu dissapear after drilling down on a dashboard. (Issue #21938)

Workaround: Re-login to the WorkSpace and the views will be properly shown again.
Default WorkSpace timetone is Acre instead of defaulting to the OS timezone. (Issue #22519)

Workaround: Manually set the participant's timezone through the WorkSpace options.

Administrative Tools

Process Execution Engine Status checks when the Engien is not running are reported with its exception as "Information" when they should not (Issue #19414)

Workaround: There no workaround since everything works as expected.
BPM engine requires a "/tmp" directory to be present in order to startup. (Issue #20191)

Workaround: Create a c:tmp directory.

Workaround: Use ALBPM's 5.5 Log Viewer.
The Oracle JDBC Driver (ojdbc14.zip) is not available to the Process Administrator Web Application after it was successfully used to create the Directory Service. (Issue #21562)

Workaround: Rename the Oracle JDBC Driver file from its .zip to .jar extension.
The generated ALBPM Web Application WAR files do not contain any additional preset preferences in the directory.properties file contained in the generated WAR files. (Issue #21602)

Workaround: Edit the directory.properties bundled in the generated WAR file and add the required properties. You can automate this workaround for future use creating an (WAR/EAR) ANT Task.
A second option is to copy the correct directory.properties file to $ALBPM_HOMEj2eewebappsportalWEB-INF and generate the WAR file from Admin Center again.
Changing the subtype of an exisiting service end point from MS SQL Server to Oracle causes fuego.configuration.exception.InvalidConfigurationException: Validation failed for field [Password] error in Process Administrator. (Issue #22503)

Workaround: Create a new service end point of sub type Oracle and then use this SQL Component when publishing the project.
Log Viewer's help link is broken. It points to a URL containing "en_US" instead of "en". (Issue #22518)

Workaround: Modify the browser URL http://xxxxxxx//webconsole/help/en_US/logviewer/index.html to http://xxxxxxx//webconsole/help/en/logviewer/index.html and reload the page.
Publication of a project revision with a new abstract role is not allowing the role mapping without generating a minor or major. (Issue #22717)

Workaround: Publish the project using the smart publish option and the new role will be automatically created and mapped.

Process Execution Engine

Connected PAPI clients stop receiving instance news information from an Engine once this one has been restarted making the Client Instance Cache inconsistent. (Issue #16385)

Workaround: When an ALBPM Engine is restarted, also restart the WorkSpace Web Application so the PAPI Client Instance Cache is refreshed and synchronized back with the Engine.
The error Participant '..' does not have role assignments in process '...' appears when trying to execute a global creation activity of a newly deployed project when accessed from the JSR-168 Portlets interface. (Issue #19045)

Workaround: Restart the Process Execution Engine.
Process execution engine throws an OutOfMemoryError when loading a large number of participants when the Organization is really large. (Issue #19074)

Workaround: Workaround #1: Increase JVM heap size. Workaround #2: The administrator can set the system property fuego.directory.MaxParticipants to 0, preventing the engine from preloading the participants at startups.
