JR41612: EXECUTESERVICEBYNAME DOES NOT CALL INITIALIZENEWLOGIN SO NEW USERS CANNOT EXECUTE SERVICES WITHOUT LOGGING INTO PORTAL FIRST

Version 7.5.1 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The initalizeNewLogin script is only run when a user logs into
  the BPM portal.  For solutions where the portal is not used and
  credentials are passed with the REST API or WEBAPI, the
  initalizeNewLogin is not run.  This script auto populates
   LSW_USR_* tables with the correct group references. Without
  this population, running BPM processes do not function properly.
  
  Affectts WLE 7.1, 7.2 and BPM 7.5, 7.5.0.1, 7.5.1
  Reference: JIRA WLE-7203
  
  
  The source of this problem is that unless initializeNewLogin is
  called, the users role mapping is not established. Since
  initializeNewLogin is not called by this servlet, the user will
  NEVER get their role assignments filled in. Even if they hit
  this servlet multiple times.
