JR56436: INSTANCE MIGRATION DOES NOT MIGRATE DYNAMIC GROUPS PROPERLY

bpm.8570.cf2017.03.delta.repository
Downloading IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2017.03

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you migrating inflight instances from one snapshot to
  another, the tasks that have dynamic group references are not
  updated accordingly. As a result, references linger when all
  instances or tasks have been migrated to a new snapshot.
  
  This issue might lead to other issues, such as errors when you
  delete snapshots, because these group references are not
  updated.

Local fix

Problem summary

• Process applications that have dynamic groups defined might
  cause dependency issues when you try to use the
  BPMDeleteSnapshot command.
  
  The task group IDs are not updated as part of the migration,
  leaving behind references to the old snapshot.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that ensures instance migration updates the group IDs for
  tasks that have dynamic groups assigned to them is planned for
  inclusion in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.03.
