Error description
In IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5, you can concurrently update different fields of the same shared business object in a heritage human service. However, if you provide your own validation code for the heritage human service and enable the validation, a field changed by a first user might be reverted to its previous value when a second user updates another field.
Local fix
Problem summary
When you work concurrently on a shared business object, at save time IBM BPM determines which changes you made on a by-field base to save only those. To determine which changes you made, IBM BPM compares your data with the previous version of the shared business object. When your heritage human service uses validation, all variable changes that you made in the validation flow are reversed when you return to the coach. The concurrent user edits and the validation processing caused the version information about the shared business object to be incorrect. As a result IBM BPM considered some changes to be made to the wrong version.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that ensures updates are not lost during the validation of shared business objects. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR54502: 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 JR54502, 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.
