Error description
In IBM Process Portal, when you click a dashboard tab, an HTTP request is generated with a parameter that contains a URL for the target dashboard. The URL includes double slashes (starts with https://). Because slashes are reserved characters according to RFC 3986, network intermediaries may block or alter the request. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Problem summary
Double slashes in dashboard URL parameters in HTTP requests are not correctly encoded (according to RFC 3986, an Internet standard) before the request is sent. A network intermediary in the path between the client workstation and the IBM BPM server, such as a load balancer or single sign-on provider, may block or alter the request in transit, if it is strictly enforcing RFC 3986.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that properly encodes the double slashes in dashboard URL parameters before sending the request to the IBM BPM server. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR49924: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR49924, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
