Error description
The RESUMABLE_DASHBOARDS attribute of a Process Portal session is not serializable. As a result, an error similar to the following is written to SystemOut.log on the server or cluster where the IBM_BPM_Portal application is deployed: WASSession E SessionContextMBeanAdapter findAttCausingNotSerializableException Miscellaneous data: Attribute "RESUMABLE_DASHBOARDS" is declared to be serializable but is found to generate exception "java.io.NotSerializableException" with message "com.lombardisoftware.component.common.web.WebWorkflowManagerRes ult". Fix the application so that the attribute "RESUMABLE_DASHBOARDS" is correctly serializable at runtime. This error has been observed in conjunction with the WebSphere Application Server session replication function (allowing a web session to be persisted in a clustered network deployment environment, such that if the cluster member where the session is running fails, the session automatically resumes through another cluster member), but also in other scenarios where session replication is not being used. The attribute needs to be made serializable to eliminate this error.
