Issue/Introduction
Error Message : N/A
When using REPLACE OBJECT_USE in the DB Change utility script, changes also affect Preconditions and Postconditions of a Workflow.
The expected behavior would be that these properties should not be affected.
The documentation states:
Please note that you cannot change Pre- or Postconditions (or their values) of tasks inside of a Workflow object with AE DB Change.
Investigation
The behavior can easily be reproduced when modifying a Workflow with DB Change.
Place a Workflow in the Transport Case.
Create a transport file with DB Unload.
Use DB Change to run a script that contains REPLACE OBJECT_USE against the transport file.
Cause type: Defect Root Cause: Change utility overwrites preconditions and postconditions of a Workflow. Using the rule "OBJECT_USE" caused the problem.
Environment
OS Version: N/A
Resolution
Update to a fix version listed below or a newer version if available.
A change was introduced in version 10.0.6, that affected these properties. The change has been reverted in fixed versions, so that Preconditions and Postconditions are no longer affected by REPLACE OBJECT_USE.
