Closed as program error.
Error description
When you use TWSearch to query process instances, only instances that have tasks are returned. For process instances that are stalled and are not moving forward (tasks do not exist for it). They are not failed and are in Active state. It is not possible to display these process instances through Process Admin --> Process Inspector, but it's possible to retrieve them through BPM Rest API (Get Current State call).
Local fix
Problem summary
Even if an administrator performs a process instance search within a JavaScript step, the query involves checking for task instance-based authorization. As a result, process instances that do not have tasks are not returned.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that allows to enable process instance queries that are performed with administrator authorization to return instances that do not have tasks. You can switch off the authorization check to enable the new behavior by inserting the following elements into the properties element of the 100custom.xml file: <common merge="mergeChildren"> <search-execution merge="mergeChildren"> <javascript-administrative-search-processes-with-user- authorization merge="replace">false </javascript-administrative-search-processes-with-user- authorization> </search-execution> </common> On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR52765: 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 JR52765, 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.
