APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After you upgrade to IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.6,
    IBM Process Portal doesn't display the labels of dashboards or
    launchable processes or services for some users.
    
    PRODUCTS AFFECTED
    IBM BPM
    IBM BPM Express
    

Local fix

  • A process administrator can go to the Process Admin Console and
    clear the user attribute setting. After this attribute is
    cleared and the user logs back into Process Portal, he or she
    will see the labels.
    

Problem summary

  • This issue occurs because the user attribute setting is "Base
    Text Direction".
    
    Possible values for the attribute are
    Default - do nothing
    LTR - Left to right
    RTL - Right to left
    Default (Contextual)
    
    Only "Default - do nothing" works for IBM BPM V8.6. All other
    choices result in Process Portal not displaying the labels.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix that correctly displays labels dashboards and launchable
    processes/services will be available in a future release of IBM
    BPM.
