• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During SCA component interaction, a business object's
  user-context information flows from component to component. The
  user-context is used to pass data that is not part of the
  message payload between multiple SCA components in the same
  module. For example, in an SCA mediation flow component, a
  developer could store data in the user-context; another SCA
  component in the invocation chain could retrieve this data
  later.
  
  However, if you enable the event-sequencing feature on an SCA
  component, the user-context is removed when this component is
  invoked.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The user-context is mistakenly removed when event sequencing
  modifies the user-context object.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that prevents
  the unintentional removal of the user context.
