JR64255: FILTERING ON DISPLAYNAME WHEN SEARCHING FOR USERS VIA REST DOES NOT RETURN ALL USERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When IBM Business Automation Workflow is configured to obtain a
  user's full name from the "displayName" property in Federated
  Repositories using
  <user-full-name-prop
  merge="replace">displayName</user-full-name-prop>
  and a user matches a search via REST API only by this attribute,
  this user is omitted from the search result. The following log
  output is printed:

  property 'displayName' is missing. IBM Business Automation
  Workflow will continue without loading this entity. Initial
