Closed as program error.
Error description
The root of the problem is that the REST apis cache the state information (which we call the ExecutionContext) at each server node. Since the customer is using different clustered servers, the cached ExecutionContext is stale and results in the indicated error.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of BPM Express, BPM Standard and BPM * * Advanced. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: User gets incorrect results when using * * Rest API in cluster env. (e.g: Task * * status in node1 is not same as in * * node2). * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Due to staled cached executionContext, user get incorrect results when using different clustered servers.
Problem conclusion
The code in class EJBWorkflowManagerBean reloaded the execution context only if it was null, but not when it was modified on another node in a cluster. The fix makes the class reload the execution context each time it is called, so it is always up-to-date. Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page in FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix package as a separate download.
