Error description
When you access a task in IBM Process Portal, a NullPointerException (NPE)might occur, which looks similar to the following NPE: E CWLLG0594E: An exception occurred while initializing the runnable thread. Error: com.lombardisoftware.component.common.workflow. WorkflowManagerException: java.lang.NullPointerException com.lombardisoftware.component.common.workflow.

Local fix
Problem summary
This error occurs on process instances that were started and not completed before APAR JR49355 was installed. The error is caused by a combination of receiving error events through an intermediate error event that were entered before the APAR JR49355 was installed and the use of the context.refreshView() JavaScript command in a coach view.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that handles the uninitialized object that causes the NullPointerException. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR52830: 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 JR52830, 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.
