APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the BPD engine navigates to a service task (like the decision
  service), it sends a notification to the service engine and
  informs the TaskLoader to immediately look for the notification.
  Sometimes, the database transaction for the notification has not
  yet committed, so the TaskLoader does not see it. It waits a bit
  (per default: 2 seconds), and looks again.
  
  Those 2 seconds slows down the execution of a BPD with services.
  

Local fix

• n/a
  

Problem summary

• RUN TR Perf prob when executing a Decision Table
  
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  The communication between BPD engine and Service engine is
  sometimes delayed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The kick-on-schedule now occurs within a transaction
  synchronization callback, and the task loader sees the
  notification immediately in the database, and can act on it.
