JR58495: YOU CAN'T RETRIEVE IBM BPM INTERNAL GROUPS THAT HAVE LEADING OR TRAILING SPACES

bpm.8600.cf2017.12.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) internal groups that have
  leading or trailing spaces and are created in the Process Admin
  Console or by using the tw.system.org.createRole() JavaScript
  can't be retrieved when calling
  tw.system.org.findRoleByName(Group Name) script. Some database
  vendors or versions do not trim the space, which causes no
  results to return when you try to retrieve the group.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED
  IBM BPM
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• You can run following the query:
  update lsw_usr_grp_xref set group_name=TRIM(GROUP_NAME) where
  (group_name like '% ' or group_name like ' %') and group_type=3
  

Problem summary

• You can create internal groups that have leading or trailing
  spaces in the group name; however, doing so might prevent some
  other IBM BPM APIs from finding the groups.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that prevents you from creating internal groups that have
  leading or trailing spaces in the group name will be included in
   a future release of IBM BPM.
  

Temporary fix
