Error description
In the Assignments page of an activity , if you specify Assign To = Lane and User Distribution = Last User and interim fix JR52385 is installed, the activity might be assigned to the team associated to the lane rather than to the user who completed the last activity.
Local fix
You can prevent such tasks from being assigned to the team by setting the <user-distribution-last-user-enforce-team-membership> property to false in the 100Custom.xml file, like in the following example: <server> <bpd-engine> <user-distribution-last-user-enforce-team-membership> false </user-distribution-last-user-enforce-team-membership> </bpd-engine> </server> Note that this setting enables task assignments to users who do not belong to the assigned-to team.
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. If interim fix JR52385 is installed, IBM BPM might conclude that this user does not belong to the assigned-to team although the user belongs to that team.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that prevents such tasks from being assigned to the team and correctly assigns them to the user who completed the last activity. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR53047: 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 JR53047, 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.
