APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In IBM Process Portal, if the fix for APAR JR49924 is installed, you can set the start page to a dashboard page by clicking the '+' in the upper-left corner of the page, which subsequently turns into a check mark symbol to reflect that the page is the start page. However, when you log out of Process Portal and then log back in the page displayed is the Work > My Tasks page, not the page you previously selected to be the start page. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
You can configure the start page for a user from the Process Admin Console: 1. Go to User Management > Bulk User Attribute Assignment > Portal Default Page. 2. Select the user and enter the URL for the dashboard, which is displayed in the browser's address bar when you go to the dashboard in Process Portal.
Problem summary
The fix for APAR JR49924 added the ability to escape double slash ("//") sequences in dashboard URLs so that the URLs could be properly included as parameters in HTTP requests. However, the code that saves the URL for a start page that you configure saves the escaped URL in your user profile. As a result, the next time you log in to Process Portal, the start page URL in your user profile is not recognized, resulting in the Work > My Tasks page being displayed instead of the configured start page.
Problem conclusion
A fix for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 and V8.5.0.1 is available that ensures that the unescaped dashboard URL is always saved in your user profile when you set the start page to a dashboard page, allowing the dashboard page to be displayed when you log in to Process Portal. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR52103: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR52103, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
