8 TIBCO BWPM Client Notes Bug fixes Ticket Topic No #1031 a wrong subprocess was returned in some dynamic call scenarios #984 when configuring Extracts on both input and output data on a single activity, two log events were generated instead of one #678 the custom BW engine property "ShutdownOnStartupError" was not evaluated correctly 2.2 Ticket No Topic #865 Failure at process spawn #902 Timeout push does not push cyclic after timeout #944 Trace data not collected (out) for activities with nonalphanumerical names #945 Incorrect behaviour when EMS server does not accept message Ticket Topic No #820 TIBCO BWPM Client would write many entries to the log file in case of a broken EMS connection Ticket Topic No #687 the BWPM client would open too many (up to 20) JMS connections. This has been fixed, so that the BWPM client uses exactly one connection now #691 if regex rules were defined in the TRA file and would trigger on activities with no output data, a nullpointer exception was thrown 8

9 #692 #743 if an extract was configured for a start activity of a subprocess, the extract would only work, if tracing was enabled for this activity in "exclusive" log mode, when activities had extracts configured, the process would still not be monitored by the BWPM client when the TIBCO Designer tester took long to initialize a test session, the BWPM client would not register correctly when the BW engine would take very long to initialize, the BWPM client would not register correctly with the engine and not monitor processes if a client tried to respond on a non existing temporary queue, an error was thrown. The error message is now suppressed process design of design time libraries would not be sent to server when in tester mode BusinessStart and BusinessEnd could not be mapped when using the palette #775 Extracts do not work on input data for activities within groups #700 #701 #703 #712 #726 9
