APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you define a business process definition (BPD) or process
  with a system task in a lane that is not marked as a system
  lane, you see the following warning in the SystemOut.log of the
  server:
  
  Could not resolve a valid user for system task. Defaulting to
  user '<username>'
  
  This warning appears when none of the defined system lane users
  of your system are members of the default lane team that
  contains the system task.

Problem summary

• When the system creates a system task in a non-system lane, it
  incorrectly checked the members of the default lane team to look
  for a matching system lane user.
  
  In a non-system lane, system tasks must be owned by the first
  system lane user. The system lane users are defined in the
  Authentication Alias settings for the IBM BPM deployment
  environment in the WebSphere Application Server administrative
  console.
  
  In a system lane, system tasks must be owned by a system lane
  user who is found in the default lane team of the system lane.
  If that team does not contain any of the system lane users, the
  first system lane user owns the task and a warning is logged in
  the SystemOut.log file of the server.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.12
  that corrects the logic to check only the default lane team for
  system tasks that are in a system lane.
