JR54949: NOTSERIALIZABLEEXCEPTION CAUSED BY STAFFQUERYREFRESHMANAGER INNER CLASS

8.5.5.0-WS-BPM-IFJR54949
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The staff query refresh function of IBM Business Process Manager
  (BPM) regularly refreshes staff queries against a directory
  service (such as LDAP or VMM). After a successful refresh, the
  function reschedules its next run, inserting a database record
  into the SAVED_TASK_MESSAGE_T table. Inserting the database
  record fails with a ProcessError ?Error during Serialization?
  exception:
  The following exception is caught from before the
  synchronization operation completes:

Local fix

Problem summary

• An inner Java class of the StaffQueryRefreshManager contributes
  to a message that must be serialized for persistence. However,
  this inner class was not implemented to support serialization.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that makes the
  error-causing Java class serializable.
