APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If you define a custom assignment on a user task that has multiple roles or users separated by semicolons, a task is created for each defined role or user. If these tasks are not processed, they remain in the Received status and can be claimed even if the process instance has already been completed.
Local fix
Problem summary
This issue occurs as a result of the parallel task function: if the user task is assigned to N users, N tasks are created: one for each user. The first user who completes this task causes the BPD to continue navigation. The other tasks remain visible to assigned users or roles and can be worked on, even when the instance is completed. As a result, users can change process variables, which might affect navigation in the instance or the state (history) of an already completed instance.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.1 so that separating roles or users by semicolons is no longer enforced or encouraged. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR50719: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR50719, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
