JR57381: COMPLETED BPD INSTANCES HAVE TASKS MARKED RECEIVED

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • You occasionally observe completed business process definition
    (BPD) instances that are closed yet seem to contain active tasks
    showing the RECEIVED status. This issue occurs in multiple
    scenarios, some of which are fixed with interim fixes JR52533
    and JR53167, but one scenario requires this interim fix.
    

Local fix

  • In the Process Inspector use REST or JavaScript APIs to manually
    resume the instance. The open task automatically completes.
    

Problem summary

  • This problem occurs when the following actions occur at the same
    time:
    
    - The implementation of the activity is running
    - An attached interrupting event interrupts the running activity
    
    Both actions read, modify, and save the task. In such a
    situation, the outcome depends on the exact timing. Sometimes,
    an incorrect RECEIVED status overwrites the correct CLOSED
    status.

Problem conclusion

  • A fix will be available in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.03
    that locks the task before modifying it.
    

Temporary fix
