I've run into a few minor issues using the message flow editor in the IIB v10.0.0.3 toolkit:
- The 'Show Grid' button, when enabled, is supposed to display a grid in the message flow editor, but it doesn't quite persist. The 'Show Grid' icon indicates that it's enabled, but every time I open a message flow, there is no grid, and I have to click the button twice to disable/re-enable it in order to display the grid properly.
- Within a message flow, I right-click on a subflow, and select 'Open Subflow'. This opens the subflow, but also turns on the 'Flow Exerciser' mode, which I then have to manually disable, to return the flow to edit mode.
Is there a better fix or workaround for either of these issues? |

Both of these sound like PMR issues.
Don't have any workarounds myself, sorry. Try refreshing the workspace/projects, but.

It's a brand new toolkit, just out of the box, with a brand new workspace. I refreshed, and cleaned it, but that didn't help.
I can open a PMR, but I'm curious if anyone else is having the same issues. I'd be surprised if I'm the first to discover them, but I can't find any mention of them anywhere else. |

Any errors in the toolkit/workspace error files?

I couldn't find anything relevant. There are a few warnings in the workspace .log file upon startup about invalid preference category paths and NLS missing messages, and there is a NullPointerException when I disable 'Flow Exerciser' mode, but that occurs too late to be the cause of the problem:

I've reproduced both of these problems on our latest development build - I've raised them as internal defects.
If you want a fix before they make it into a fix pack you'll need to raise a PMR. Ask for it to be routed directly to the toolkit L3 team.
I can't see any workarounds I'm afraid, but if I find one I'll get back to you. |

Thanks for that.

One workaround for issue #2 is to double-click the subflow, rather than right-click -> 'Open Subflow'. That opens the subflow without turning on 'Flow Exerciser' mode. |

FYI, the 10.0.0.5 fixpack resolves issue #2; right-click->'Open Subflow' no longer turns on Flow Exerciser mode.
One problem down, one to go ... |

FYI: Issue #2 "The 'Show Grid' button, when enabled, is supposed to display a grid in the message flow editor, but it doesn't quite persist." is now fixed in 10.0.0.6
