Seeing SIB/ME Errors After Deploying a Module with SCA References?

If you try to perform a “hot” update to a module containing SCA references, you may find that the module does not function correctly after the deployment, as WESB and WPS ( also IBM Business Process Manager) cache references to EJB stubs pointing to modules registered by the SCA runtime.

Often times, when I encounter an issue that appears to be product related, the first spot I like to quickly check out is the Fix Central site to see if there is a possible fix related to the issue I am observing. (I have provided the url to the IBM Fix Central Site below). Seems reasonable right? Might as well rule out the obvious.

How to Delete Process Applications from IBM BPM 7.5.1

As a new feature of the Business Process Manager V7.5.1 platform, process applications can now be deleted from the repository. In the previous version of BPM, version 7.5.0 & 7.5.0.1, users could only archive snapshots within a process application. This did not remove the application; rather it was merely hidden from the default view and it was still stored in the repository and the database. In the latest version of BPM, users can now actually delete the process applicatio
