JR50603: LOCALE DEFAULTS TO ENGLISH IF NOT SET. ERROR MESSAGES DISPLAY IN WRONG LOCALE

8.0.1.3-WS-BPM-IFJR50603
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error messages in heritage coaches default to English if no
  locale is set for the user preference. IBM Process Portal and
  other parts of coaches display the proper languages, according
  to the browser locale settings. However, validation for business
   object types does not use the same logic as Process Portal or
  other parts of coaches and, so, defaults to English.
  

Local fix

• Workaround: Set your locale attribute under Bulk attribute
  assignment in the Process Admin Console. Alternatively, set the
  language setting in the Process Portal preference page.
  

Problem summary

• User input fields in a heritage coach that are bound to a
  specific system type return error messages in English if the
  locale is not set in your preference settings. The system error
  messages default to English if no user locale is set.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM v8.0.1.1 that
  checks for a proper locale before defaulting to English. If the
  locale attribute is not set in the
  preferences, the code looks up the JVM locale and use that
  locale. If the JVM does not have a proper
  locale setting, English will be used.
