Error description
In an event driven business process definition with auto-tracking disabled, when an event is triggered via an Undercover Agent (UCA), the following error is written to SystemOut.log: (PFS-0065) The tracking group with external ID <BPD_ID> is not defined. A corresponding record is also inserted into the LSW_PERF_DATA_TRANSFER_ERRORS table in the Performance Data Warehouse database. This issue prevents the tracking group from being associated with the tracked record, unless the business process definition is auto-tracked.

An interim fix for Business Process Manager Version 7.5.1.0 has been published to Fix Central.
