Abstract: RuntimeFaultException when executing a business process that contains 
a WSDL definition with multiple ports.

Description/symptom of problem:

1) Symptom:
   --------
   
   When executing a business process that contains a WSDL definition with multiple ports, 
   this can lead to a RuntimeFaultException. This exception looks similar to 
   the following:
   
   com.ibm.bpe.api.RuntimeFaultException: BPEE0062E: The partner link 'Rm_PortType' cannot be resolved.
        org.apache.wsif.WSIFException: Please specify a Service. 
        Choices are: {{http://bis.eia.sbc.com/2004/04/RmService.wsdl}RmService, 
                     {http://rm.eia.sbc.com/Rm_PortTypeSOAPService/}Rm_PortTypeService}

2) Problem:
   --------

   The reason for this problem is that the Web Service Invocation Framework (WSIF) needs
   exactly one port to invoke. When the WSDL definition contains more than one port,
   WSIF cannot decide which port to invoke. This results in an RuntimeFaultException
   and the business process fails.
   
3) Solution:
   ---------

   This interim fix narrows the WSDL definition to the port that will be 
   invoked. If this error occurred in an enterprise application, you must 
   re-install the enterprise application after you apply the fix.

NOTE:  YOU MUST FIRST DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE INSTALLER TOOL IN ORDER TO INSTALL A FIX.
       The Update Installer can be downloaded from the following link:
       http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support/index.html


Directions to apply Fix:

1) Create temporary "Fix" directory to store the jar file:
             UNIX: /tmp/WebSphere/Fix
          Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\Fix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4) Follow the Fix installation instructions that are packaged with the Update Installer on how to install the Fix.

5) Restart WebSphere

6) The temp directory may be removed.


Directions to remove a Fix:

NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
       ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be
          removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.


1) Shutdown WebSphere

2) Follow the instructions that are packaged with the Update Installer on how to uninstall the Fix.

3) Restart WebSphere
