Error description
In IBM Process Federation Server, when you perform a sorted query on a business data field, indexes that don't have tasks that use the business data field should be excluded from the search. However, if you have two business data fields that have the same name but different types, and that you perform a sorted query on this business data field name, then the result does not exclude indexes with no task defining this business data. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Process Federation Server
Local fix
Problem summary
No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in IBM Process Federation Server cumulative fix 2016.12 that properly excludes indexes from task queries when the indexes don't contain a task that uses the business data field for sorting. In addition to the fix, a new optional query parameter has been added to the GET /rest/bpm/federated/v1/tasks task query API. The optional query parameter named "includeAllIndexes" holds a Boolean value. It specifies whether indexes with no task that uses the business data for sorting should be excluded or not from the results of a sorted task query. The default value is 'false'. 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".
