Error description

• When you use IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.7 federated
  with IBM Process Federation Server and interim fix JR50481 is
  installed on the federated environment, you cannot complete the
  following actions in IBM Process Portal:
  
  -Navigating to a business process definition (BPD) from the
  Process Performance dashboard for the federated IBM BPM
  environment.
  -Viewing the Gantt chart for a process instance on the federated
  IBM BPM environment.

Local fix

Problem summary

• The navigation controller in the System Dashboards toolkit on
  the federated IBM BPM system checks the value of the
  launchInNewWindow configuration property, which was introduced
  with interim fix JR50481. That check sends an exception if
  Process Portal is hosted on a different IBM BPM system than
  where the toolkit is hosted, which is often the case in a
  federated environment. The exception prevents the Gantt chart
  from loading in Process Portal.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that catches an exception in the check for the
  launchInNewWindow property and assumes the property is set to
  false, allowing the Gantt chart to load successfully in Process
  Portal, is available in IBM BPM V8.5.7.0.
  

Temporary fix

• Not applicable
