APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • In IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.7 CF 2016.12 you
cannot claim a task again if the task is already assigned to the
same user.

PRODUCTS AFFECTED
IBM BPM Advanced
IBM BPM Standard
IBM BPM Express

Local fix

  • Change the case of the user name in LDAP so that it matches the
case being entered.

Problem summary

  • Before assigning the task again, IBM BPM checks for the
ownership of a task by user name, which involves comparing the
case style instead of the user ID. As a result, IBM BPM throws
an error if the user name in the database is saved in a
different case compared to the user name in the http request or
LDAP system.

Problem conclusion

  • A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.03
that makes the Assign ToMe REST API case insensitive.

Temporary fix
