Error description

• When a task e.g. human service is run twice in parallel, this

  com.ibm.ejs.container.BeanNotReentrantException: TX_IN_METHOD:
  wrong transaction
  
  This error is not helpful. This APAR will replace this error
  with a more user friendly error message

Problem summary

• If the user of the process portal tries to start a task that is
  already executed by another user, an error message is
  displayed, that says: "TX_IN_METHOD: wrong transaction".
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  The problem occurs, because the Web container detects that the
  current thread tries to open a new transaction but is already
  associated with another transaction.  The message displayed
  does not make any sense to a business user.
  

Problem conclusion

• Catch the 'TX_IN_METHOD: wrong transaction' exception and

  is already being executed by another user.
