No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available or will be available that ensures case components in IBM Business Automation Workflow stop using log4j 1.x libraries. Post installation of the fix, navigate to the config folder for the deployment manager and all nodes to manually remove the remaining unused log4j jar files. IBM Business Automation Workflow releases 22.0.1 and later no longer include the log4j files. The jar files are packaged inside ear and war files. Use zip or jar utilities to open and remove the files. /config/cells/<cell_name>/applications/CaseBuilder_<cluster_name >.ear/CaseBuilder_<cluster_name>.ear/CaseBuilder.war/WEB-INF/lib /log4j-1.2.15.jar /config/cells/<cell_name>/applications/CaseForms_<cluster_name>. ear/CaseForms_<cluster_name>.ear/CaseForms.war/WEB-INF/lib/log4j .jar /config/cells/<cell_name>/applications/CaseManager_<cluster_name >.ear/CaseManager_<cluster_name>.ear/CaseManager.war/WEB-INF/lib /log4j-1.2.15.jar /config/cells/<cell_name>/applications/ICMBPMServices_<cluster_n ame>.ear/ICMBPMServices_<cluster_name>.ear/ICMBPMServices.war/WE B-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar
