Error description
The finishTask REST API call returns some instance data in its reply. The nextTaskId field is null, although it is supposed to contain the ID of the next user task if the finished user task has 'autoflow' enabled and there is no other activity between the finished user task and the next user task.
Local fix
Problem summary
This REST API call finishes the user task, kicks off a new thread to go to the next task, and waits for the end of the navigation. Because there are two concurrent database locks, the thread never finds the next task, so the API returns with nextTaskId as null.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 and V8.5.5.0 that finds the next task with only one database lock. The API returns with the nextTaskId field completed correctly. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR51261: 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 JR51261, 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.
