APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
By default, an IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) system has only one defined system user, which is the user who is defined when IBM BPM is installed. This user runs the BPMN system tasks. In rare scenarios, you might want to define more than one system user. You can do this by configuring the <system-lane-users> property. However, there is no effective way to specify which of these users should run a given system task. The system always chooses the first configured user.
Local fix
Problem summary
Although you can change the participant of the system lane and designate individual users, the first configured system lane user is exclusively used to run all system tasks.
Problem conclusion
A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V7.5.1.2 that allows you to change the selection of the user who runs system tasks: If the configured participant of the system lane that contains a system task is not the system user, all users included in the participant are evaluated and matched against all configured system lane users. The first matching user runs the system task (and all other system tasks in the same lane). If there is no match, you see the following warning Could not resolve a valid user for system task. Defaulting to user '<user-id>' and the system reverts to using the first configured system user. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR52344: 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 JR52344, 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. Use the following type of XML override to add additional system lane users <properties> <server merge="mergeChildren"> <bpd-engine merge="mergeChildren"> <system-lane-users merge="replace"> <user login-auth-alias="psNode01/2ndSystemUser_Auth_Alias" /> <user login-auth-alias="BPMAdmin_Auth_Alias" /> </system-lane-users> </bpd-engine> </server> </properties>
