APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After you apply APAR JR48172 in IBM Business Process
  Manager(BPM) V8.0.1.1 or IBM BPM V8.0.1.2, the Unix shell
  scripts for user and group synchronization, usersFullSync.sh and
  usersSync.sh, do not run successfully. They stop with an usage
  error.
  
  For IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 the Unix shell scripts for group
  synchronization, groupMembershipFullUpdate.sh,
  groupMembershipUpdate.sh, syncGroupMembershipForAllGroups.sh,
  and syncGroupMembershipForGroups.sh, do not run successfully and
  stop with an usage error too.
  
  Additionally for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2, when two or more users work
  on the same business process definition (BPD) at the same time,
  "Unknown user" is shown in the IBM Process Designer status line
  at the bottom of the window for each user who is working on the
  BPD.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The Unix shell scripts for group synchronization contain CR/LF
  (CarriageReturn / Linefeed) instead of LF (Linefeed). Also, the
  Unix shell scripts for user synchronization cannot find the
  mandatory parameter USER_INSTALL_ROOT. These issues cause the
  shell scripts to fail with a usage error.
  
  Because APAR JR48172, which is a prerequisite for APAR JR48507,
  contains a wrong fix part for Process Designer, some processing
  in Process Designer fails with an exception and you see the
  "Unknown user" message.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 and IBM BPM V8.0.1.1
  that replaces the CR/LF in the Unix shell scripts with one LF
  and adds the missing parameter USER_INSTALL_ROOT to the
  command-line processing in the shell scripts.
  
  The correct fix part for APAR JR48172 is packaged with this APAR
  for BPM V8.0.1.2.
