Error description
After you apply APAR JR48172 in IBM Business Process Manager(BPM) V8.0.1.1 or IBM BPM V8.0.1.2, the Unix shell scripts for user and group synchronization, usersFullSync.sh and usersSync.sh, do not run successfully. They stop with an usage error. For IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 the Unix shell scripts for group synchronization, groupMembershipFullUpdate.sh, groupMembershipUpdate.sh, syncGroupMembershipForAllGroups.sh, and syncGroupMembershipForGroups.sh, do not run successfully and stop with an usage error too. Additionally for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2, when two or more users work on the same business process definition (BPD) at the same time, "Unknown user" is shown in the IBM Process Designer status line at the bottom of the window for each user who is working on the BPD.
Local fix
Problem summary
The Unix shell scripts for group synchronization contain CR/LF (CarriageReturn / Linefeed) instead of LF (Linefeed). Also, the Unix shell scripts for user synchronization cannot find the mandatory parameter USER_INSTALL_ROOT. These issues cause the shell scripts to fail with a usage error. Because APAR JR48172, which is a prerequisite for APAR JR48507, contains a wrong fix part for Process Designer, some processing in Process Designer fails with an exception and you see the "Unknown user" message.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 and IBM BPM V8.0.1.1 that replaces the CR/LF in the Unix shell scripts with one LF and adds the missing parameter USER_INSTALL_ROOT to the command-line processing in the shell scripts. The correct fix part for APAR JR48172 is packaged with this APAR for BPM V8.0.1.2. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR50805: 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 JR50805, 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.
