Closed as program error.
Error description
A task can change its own task subject by using JavaScript. However, when autoflow is not enabled for that task or the task is the last one before the business process definition (BPD) flow completes, the updated subject value is not persisted in the database.
Local fix
Problem summary
When autoflow is not used, the business process definition (BPD) engine does not consider changes to its own task context that its own 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. This issue is very similar to the issue handled with interim fix JR55686, in which autoflow is enabled.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 that causes IBM BPM to refresh the task context when autoflow is disabled before saving the final task state in the database to make sure that the latest changes are considered. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR56114: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR56114, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
