Local fix

• In the WebSphere administrative console, go to Resources > JMS >
  Topic connection factories > BPM_BusinessEvents_Topic_CF and
  note the authentication alias name in the "Authentication alias
  for XA recovery" field. The default value is DeAdminAlias.
  Set the same XA recovery authentication alias for all other
  connection factories that IBM BPM uses, including queue
  connection factories and topic connection factories.
  

Problem summary

• If the XA recovery authentication alias is not defined in some
  connection factories that IBM BPM uses, an XA recovery exception
  might occur when the server starts.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be available in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.06
  that sets the XA recovery authentication alias for the
  connection factories IBM BPM uses.
  
  To determine whether the cumulative fix is available, complete
  the following steps on Fix Central
  (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral):
  
  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.
  
  If cumulative fix 2017.06 is available, download and install it.
  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.
