Error description
A task narrative that contains variables cannot be evaluated if the task is in the end state and the variable does not belong to the top-level business process definition (BPD). In the SystemOut.log and Trace.log files, you see an exception similar to the following exception: JavaScriptRun E CWLLG2015E: An unexpected runtime exception occurred. See exception for more details. Error: Undeclared local variable, input or output parameter varDifferentName found in service "ParentProcess" item "UNKNOWN" location "UNKNOWN".

Local fix
Problem summary
For tasks that are in the end state, the correct variable scope can no longer be determined. Evaluating the narrative by using the wrong variable scope causes the UndeclaredVariableRuntime exception. The last evaluation result for the task narrative is already persisted and is returned instead of trying to re-evaluate the narrative.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for V8.5.6.0 and is planned to be made available for V8.5.5.0 that handles the narrative of tasks that do not belong to a top-level BPD. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR53908: 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 JR53908, 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.
