JR44698: DUPLICATE GROUPS IN LDAP CAUSES GROUP REPLICATION FAILURES

Version 7.5.1 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If duplicate groups are present in LDAP, BPM
  Security throws SQLIntegrityViolation exception and fails to
  finish the group replication process.  Errors such as below are
  seen in log.
  
  Caused by:
  com.lombardisoftware.client.delegate.BusinessDelegateException:
  PreparedStatementCallback; SQL [insert into LSW_USR_GRP_XREF
  (GROUP_ID,GROUP_NAME,DISPLAY_NAME,GROUP_TYPE,DESCRIPTION,GROUP_S
  TATE,PARENT_GROUP_ID) values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)];
  
     In the LSW_USR_GRP_XREF table
  the group_state will be set to 1 for the duplicate group in
  LDAP. This means that the group is invalid.  BPM treats this
  group as if it is non-existent.
  

Local fix

• Rename the group with the duplicate name so that there are not
  duplicate groups.
