  The error happens when the Team Performance dashboard
  implementation runs the tw.system.org.findTeam() JavaScript API.
  You might also observe the error when you run the JavaScript API
  in your own code.

Local fix

Problem summary

• The Team Performance dashboard uses the tw.system.org.findTeam()
  JavaScript API to retrieve information about a team. This API
  can find a team in any project. The error occurs on Process
  Server when the system retrieves the details of the Team object
  because it incorrectly entered a code path that is applicable
  only for IBM Process Center environments.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.03
  that corrects the logic of the findTeam() JavaScript API to not
  run the Process Center specific code in a Process Server
  environment.
