Error description
If you have variables with the same name but of different types on two distinct process applications, then a task query may return proper values of this variable for tasks from a process application, and null values for tasks from the other business application. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Process Federation Server
Local fix
Problem summary
This issue occurs because of regression introduced with interim fix JR56068.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in IBM Process Federation Server cumulative fix 2016.12 that ensures task queries of variables with the same name but of different types are handled properly. To determine whether the cumulative fix is available and download it if it is, complete the following steps on Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral): 1. On the Select product tab, select WebSphere as the product group, IBM Business Process Manager (Standard or Advanced) from the WebSphere options, All as the installed version, and All as the platform, and then click Continue. 2. In the Text field, enter "cumulative fix?, and click Continue. 3. Download the fix pack named "pfs.8570.delta.cf2016.12.repository". After you apply the fix, rebuild the Process Federation Server indexes from scratch: 1. Shut down all the Process Federation Server nodes. 2. Delete the elasticsearch directory on all nodes. This directory is in the same location as the Process Federation Server server.xml file. 3. Restart the Process Federation Server nodes.
