Error description
In IBM Business Process Manager (BPM), you can assign a task automatically to a particular user and open the user interface for that task automatically by using the auto-flow feature. However, when you switch the configuration parameter "enable-start-bpd-from-uca" to "true", which is set to "false" by default in 99Local.xml, the auto-flow feature no longer works for the first task in a business process definition (BPD). For tasks other than the first one, the auto-flow feature is not affected by the "enable-start-bpd-from-uca" parameter. You can verify that the malfunction in the auto-flow feature is really caused by this error. For this, set the "enable-start-bpd-from-uca" parameter temporarily to false and check whether after server restart the auto-flow feature works as expected. If not, you might want to double-check the BPD details instead.
Local fix
Problem summary
This issue occurs because a thread switch inside the workflow engine disables the auto-flow feature when the "enable-start-bpd-from-uca"parameter is set to ?true?. A fix that changes the workflow engine to separate the start BPD, the UCA functionality, and the auto-flow feature will be incorporated into a later release.
