APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When you model a heritage human service, you can start the task as user 1, reassign that task to user 2 by using the JavaScript API, and then model a postpone activity which introduces a transaction boundary. When the task is then resumed by the REST API and reassigned back to user 1 with the JavaScript API, the task neither closes properly nor is it reassigned to the correct user. As a result, you experience other issues; for example, the autoflow feature fails because it cannot continue navigation with the correct user.
Local fix
Problem summary
The business process definition (BPD) engine does not consider any changes to the task context that services make. The task context is loaded only once in the beginning of the navigation and is then held until the navigation finishes. As a result, stale task information is written to the database, which causes numerous other problems.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.06 that will cause IBM BPM to refresh the task context before writing back the final task state to make sure that the latest changes are taken into consideration. To determine whether the cumulative fix is available and download it if it is, complete the following steps on Fix Central: 1. On the Select product tab, select WebSphere as the product group, IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the WebSphere options, All as the installed version, and All as the platform, and then click Continue. 2. In the Text field, enter "cumulative fix?, and click Continue.
Temporary fix
Not applicable.
