APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Dynamic groups can be defined in terms of expressions including
  user attribute conditions.
  Upon changes in user attribute values, user membership in a
  dynamic group may change as well. Therefore, dynamic groups
  are refreshed upon changing user attribute values.
  
  However, the trigger refreshing the correponding group entry in
  the Group Member Cache uses an incorrect group id.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When executing a REST API call to update a user attribute,
  refreshing dynamic groups is triggered.  However, this refresh
  is not correctly reflected when performing actions subject to
  authorization, e.g. claiming a task.
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  Dynamic groups can be defined in terms of expressions including
  user attribute conditions. Upon changes in user attribute
  values, user membership in a dynamic group may change as well.
  Therefore, dynamic groups are refreshed upon changing user
  attribute values. However, the trigger refreshing the
  correponding group entry in the Group Member Cache uses an
  incorrect group id. As a result, the user is not reflected as
  being bember of the dynamic group, when performing operations
  such as claiming a task.
  

Problem conclusion

• The trigger to refreshing dynamic groups has been corrected to
  use the correct group id, such that the correct entry in the
  Group Member Cache is replaced.
