Downloading IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2016.09

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On the Process Admin Console User Management page, you cannot
  delete users that have leading or trailing blanks. You do not
  receive an error message, but the user is not deleted. Even
  after you delete a user that has trailing blanks in the user
  name, you cannot recreate a user with the same name without
  blanks in the Process Admin Console. You can do this only in the
  administrative console.
  

Local fix

• You can remove the blanks from the user name in the
  administrative console > Users and Groups > Manage Users > User
  Properties. Doing this will also fix the entry in the IBM
  Business Process Manager (BPM) database.
  
  A user name with and without trailing blanks is treated as the
  same user. Therefore when you delete a user that has trailing
  blanks, the user cannot be created again in the Process Admin
  Console with or without trailing blanks. For more information,
  see "Creating and maintaining users for an IBM BPM deployment
  environment"

  m.wbpm.admin.doc/topics/managing_users_nd.html?cp=SSFTBX_8.5.7).
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.^
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that allows you to delete a user that has leading or
