Release Comments and Post Installation Tasks (possibly only a subset or none apply depending on project feature usage)

If a Java Library has been introspected that contains classes with inner classes in an ALBPM 6.0 project, it is necessary to re-catalog the Java Library again. In addition, references to the inner classes should be checked in PBL code since the path or package resolution may have changed. (Issue #30042)
There have been some PAPI cache refresh improvements introduced in ALBPM 6.0 MP3. In order to leverage this optimizations, it is necessary that both the client and server side of the ALBPM solution use this maintenance pack as a baseline. If this optimization is not needed or desired, then it is still possible to have ALBPM 6.0 MP3 on the engine with a previous version of ALBPM 6.0 on the client side as this is a supported configuration. (Issue #30216)
Arguments in classes with methods that returns java.Util.Date are introspected as that same type while in 5.X were introspected as Fuego.Lang.Time, so the PBL code from older versions may not compile in 6.X. (Issue #29580)
Global Automatic and Due Transition times in ALBPM Studio were shown using relative Timezone adjustments when these should be shown without any timezone math in them. For this reason, when the project is opened in ALBPM 6.0 MP3, the dates may shown in an absolute time without any time adjustments. (Issue #29983)
A previously created ALBPM project using Java Libraries may stop compiling due to a bug fixed when resolving java method arguments IF an existing Java Library is re-catalogued. This happens if the method arguments are of type Long or Double. The method argument names will change producing method argument resolution problems. (Issue #30112)
For example: - Suppose that you have a catalogued JAR with a method that contains one or more arguments of type Long or Double:
JAVA method: save(Long id, String *name*); Catalogued Method: save(Long id, String *arg2*); Used method: save(id: 1234, *arg2*: "john");
- After applying this patch:
JAVA method: save(Long id, String *name*); Catalogued Method: save(Long id, String *name*); Used method: save(id: 1234, *arg2*: "john"); --> ERROR: Invalid value for argument '......
- So, you will have to change the name of the argument *arg1* for *name* where it is being used:
Used method: save(id: 1234, *name*: "john");
Due to a bug correction in ALBPM WE, PAPI no longer reads instance attachment information in every instance access. This means that attachment changes will not be taken into consideration until the ALBPM WorkSpace Web Application accesses from the ALI Portal until it is restarted. (Issue #30210)
The classes for customizing WorkList cells and rows are changing their names. The following are the new names:
1) ViewTableXXX to WorkListXXX. 2) StyleResolver to Decorator. 3) getDecoratedCellValue with rowIndex. 4) getDecoratedCellValue to getValue. (Issue #30223)
Due to a bug and extension included in ALBPM 6.0 MP3, PAPI-WS client proxies will need to be re-generated before they can start conversation with the PAPI-WS ALBPM 6.0 MP3 Web Application. (Issue #30263)

Issues Addressed

WorkSpace or End User Components

New Features

Standards

Process models in ALBPM are now compliant with the XPDL 2.0 standard. When ALBPM 5.7 process are imported in ALBPM 6.0 Studio, XPDLs are automatically converted to XPDL 2.0 format.
Support for BPEL 2.0. You can import BPEL 2.0 models into an ALBPM Project, and new models can be designed within ALBPM Studio. The Process Execution Engine is now capable of executing BPEL 2.0 natively.
ALBPM Studio application is now built on top of the Eclipse platform.

Designer and Studio

Studio now includes a software agent for automatic problem reporting and feedback. In case of unexpected errors in Studio, an automatic report will be sent to BEA for analysis. Studio will prompt you for approval before enabling this feature. We also encourage you to send us feedback using the Help > Feedback... menu option.
When you first start ALBPM Studio, you have to select one of the available profiles according your skill set: Business Analyst, Business Developer, Developer. ALBPM Studio presents a different subset of features depending on the selected profile. This keeps the user interface uncluttered, hiding what you don't need. All available features are visible under the Developer profile. The on-line documentation in Studio is also filtered depending on the active profile. To switch profiles go to Help > Welcome.
This new release introduces the concept of Project Variables, replacing the External and Business Variables of previous versions. Project Variables are functionally equivalent to the old External Variables but are simpler to use: they are available to all processes in the project, with no need to "promote" them from External to Instance. Project Variables behave as the old Business Variables when the new property Business indicator is enabled.
ALBPM project directories do not use the .fpr extension anymore.
The Organization data and Simulation definitions are now accessed as nodes in the project tree.
Integration with Version Control System feature (VCS) was re-implemented to leverage the Eclipse platform. This paves the way for supporting virtually any Source Control systems compatible with Eclipse.
Each resource that is independently stored as part of an ALBPM Project is modified using an "Editor" tabbed panel, and you must explicitly save your changes on each resource with File > Save . For example, on earlier versions of Studio you add or modify a Participant using a separate dialog window. Now a special Participants editor opens in a new tab of the edition area. This makes it easier to work with Version Control systems, as each resource is managed and saved independently.
Some editors may open nested editors (accessible via smaller tabs at the bottom of the editor). For example, the editor for Process models uses independent sub-tabs for the process diagram and for each opened process method.
You can now open several projects at the same time. Before opening a project, you first need to add it to your Studio workspace.
Incremental compilation: Studio's Process Execution Engine immediately applies changes you make to the code. No need for Publish&Deploy anymore.
A new type of Interactive activity: Decision activities. This type of activity allows the end user to decide the next path a process instance will take (one of the possible outgoing transitions), based on the value of certain instance variables. The Process Execution Engine keeps track of those decisions over time and presents the end user with recommendations on what decision to take based on past experience.
Business Rules: ALBPM Studio now provides a way of defining business rules using a graphical rules editor, without requiring any coding. After the project is deployed, authorized end users can also modify these rules on-the-fly, while the processes are executing. They can do so right from the ALBPM WorkSpace UI.
Round-trip Simulation: You can now create Simulation models from the actual execution of the processes during a given period of time. This makes it easier to create realistic Simulation models.

Administrative Tools

WorkSpace or End User Components

ALBPM WorkSpace has been re-designed and re-implemented from the ground up. It is based on a modern modular architecture which makes it easier to customize and integrate naturally with AquaLogic UI and WebLogic Portal. The old WorkSpace is still provided for backward compatibility but may be removed in future versions.
Dashboards provide better quality graphics and end user interaction (i.e. rotation, detaching of pie sections).
ALBPM RSS Feeds Web Application allows end users to participate in business processes using their RSS Reader of choice being able to authentication and register with a specific view RSS Feed. Each View accessible through WorkSpace can be accessed from from an RSS Reader like Outlook.

Process Execution Engine

Support for BPEL 2.0. You can import BPEL 2.0 models into an ALBPM Project, and new models can be designed within ALBPM Studio. The Process Execution Engine is now capable of executing BPEL 2.0 natively.
The Process Execution Engine has been migrated to a micro activity implementation to support concurrent execution of BPEL 2.0 and XPDL 2.0 business processes on the same Engine.
The deployment of the Process Execution Engine has been significantly simplified where only the Engine EAR needs to reside in the J2EE Container. It is no longer necessary to deploy the project version EAR files since these resources will be automatically downloaded from the Directory Service and injected into the Engine EAR Classloaders to provide an execution model identical to the Standalone Engine.
There is a new Configuration Wizard that will help create a complete new Enterprise Standalone and Enterprise for WebLogic single domain environment with the assistance of a wizard accelerating the time to have a new ALBPM Enterprise deployment.

APIs

A new version of the PAPI Web Service API (PAPI-WS 2.0) is distributed with ALBPM installers. This new stateless version of PAPI-WS is functionally equivalent to PAPI and it also adhered to the WS-Security specification using the UserNameToken Profile implementation as well as HTTP Basic Authentication.

Integration and Infrastructure

Native integration with ALSB 2.6. You can now easily consume ALSB services from ALBPM and also register a business process in ALSB. In addition, a Custom Transport has been implemented over RMI to enforce security and transaction propagation when ALSB and ALBPM run on the same domain.
Web Services in ALBPM now include support for WS-Security, Document-Literal style and WS-I compliance.
ALBPM Studio now includes JDBC drivers for the most popular DBMS. This means you can integrate with Oracle, DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server right out of the box.
ALBPM WE is distributed with ALBPM Enterprise installer distributions consolidating the installation and setup on a single set of bits.
ALBPM WorkSpace can be deployed in ALUI 6.1 MP1 and WLP 10.0 using the same End User Experience.
ALBPM Enterprise distributions are distributing embeddable JDBC Drivers from Data Direct. It is no longer necessary to install JDBC Drivers from Database vendors minimizing installation and setup issues related to database connectivity.
Directory Services can be configured in a Hybrid configuration where authentication and authorization can be delegated to Microsoft Active Directory or Sun One Directory Service while the rest of the metadata resides in a transactions RDBMS preventing replication of participants and entitlements.
ALBPM is completely coded and compiled using JVM 1.5.

Deprecated Features

WorkSpace or End User Components

ALBPM HiPer WorkSpace has been deprecated in favor of the new WorkSpace implemented in JSF and deployable as a Web Application.
ALBPM JSR-168 Portlets have been deprecated in favor of the new WorkSpace deployable in WLP 10.0. This new interface matches the WorkSpace functionality as well as supporting SSO.

Directory Service

LDAP Pure Directory Service Plugins for Microsoft Active Directory and Sun One Directory Service have been deprecated in favor of the new Hybrid Directory Service implementations.

APIs

PAPI-WS 1.0 has been deprecated in favor of the new PAPI-WS 2.0. PAPI-WS 1.0 is accessible through the HiPer WorkSpace while PAPI-WS 2.0 is accessible through its own Web Application. This new version of PAPI-WS is more functional as well as being completely stateless due its adherence to WS-Security. It is no longer necessary to create a login token needed in all subsequent calls.
PAPI has deprecated some methods and added new ones. Deprecated PAPI methods in ALBPM 5.7 have been deleted from the API.
WAPI accessible through the HiPer WorkSpace Web Application has been deprecated and a new HTTP Post API has been created as a replacement. This new API is accessible through the new WorkSpace implementation.

The invocation of a Process creation activity inside a procedure commits the transaction before subsequent activities are executed. (Issue #17524)
ALBPM's Engine deployed on a J2EE container is missing a parametric role assignment in a very complicated scenario when the roles are updated while the Engine is up and running and the parametric roles assigned to a participant are updated. (Issue #17534)
ALBPM Engine does not automatically reconnect to the backend Directory Service DB when this one is restarted preventing a none interrupted execution when the DB becomes available back again. (Issue #17646)
Instance Variables in the END activity cannot be configured to clean instance information and avoid a NullPointerExceptions when executing Global activities with instance access when the instances are in the END activity. (Issue #17692)
NullPointerException when a Global Automatic is placed in an Automatic Handler Role and the "Use Calendar Rules" checkbox has been selected. (Issue #17906)
Improved Calendar Rules access when the Engine needed to route instances as well as checking for new Calendar Rule changes making the routing action perform better. (Issue #17927)
Instances persisted in the Engine Database in a virtual activity cannot be found using PAPI and thus cannot be executed through WorkSpace. (Issue #18879)
BAM Updater queries take to long to execute aggregation queries throwing a DB timeout exception. The SQL queries were optimized to decrease the aggregation time significantly. (Issue #19191)
Global Automatic Activities implemented with a JMS Listener do not re-establish the connection with the JMS Server Provider once the JMS Server is re-started. (Issue #19211)

BAM Workload table averageTimes information is incorrectly computed. (Issue #21845)
The mail queue size should be configurable using a System property to overwrite the default of 500 enqueued emails. This new property name is: "fuego.engine.maxMailQueueSize". (Issue #21878)
Maximum opened cursors limited exceeded while terminating correlations in a batch. (Issue #22075)
Instance Audit Trail events are shown in a mixed order when they happen very close one after the other. The time precision is not sufficient and thus the Event order Id should be used to sort them correctly in addition to the ordering by the event time variable. (Issue #22076)
Due Transitions are not executed even when their due time expired when the Engine runs on a J2EE Container. (Issue #22370)
NullPointerException raised when initializing the BAM Service and creating the WorkLoad measure. (Issue #22457)
A NullPointerExcpection is thrown when a TimeOutException is received from the underlying Engine DB executing a SplitN activity. (Issue #22514)
When adding an automatic activity after a split activity creates copies, the instance is not assigned to the default participant loosing the automatic instance participant assignment. (Issue #22864)
BAM and DataMart execution take too long in some environments if they are started sequentially and thus it is needed to enable the single execution of these services. It is now possible to run these in isolation one from the other. (Issue #22918)
When canceling the execution of an interactive task in a clustered WorkSpace configuration, the current participant column may not be properly refreshed giving the sensation that the instance is being locked by a participant when it it not. (Issue #23128)
Engine to Engine and Engine to Portal RMI connections produced a memory leak that traduced into an OutOfMemoryError after days of heavy Engine and WorkSpace Up time and utilization. (Issue #23473)
