Error description
If you specify in the assignments page of an activity Assign To = Lane and User Distribution = Last User, the activity might be assigned to a user who is not member of the team associated to the lane.
Local fix
Problem summary
When you specify Assign To = Lane and User Distribution = Last User, IBM BPM searches for the last activity in the lane that was completed and assigns the current activity to the user who completed the task for that activity. However, this user might not belong to the team associated to the Lane, such as when the last activity was reassigned to a different user or when the last activity was interrupted by an attached event.
Problem conclusion
A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that checks whether the user who closed the last task in the lane belongs to the team assigned to the lane. If this is not the case, IBM BPM assigns the current task to the team associated to the lane. For backwards compatibility, a new configuration flag is introduced. By setting the following compatibility flag to false in the 100Custom.xml file, you can re-enable the previous behavior: <server> <bpd-engine merge="mergeChildren"> <user-distribution-last-user-enforce-team-membership merge="replace> false </user-distribution-last-user-enforce-team-membership> </bpd-engine> </server> For BPM 8.5.5.0 this fix is rolled into JR52861 On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR52385: 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 JR52385, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix.
