Error description
The timezone specification is not considered for due date calculations of activities when JavaScript expressions are used instead of default options provided by IBM Process Designer.
Local fix
Perform the following actions: 1. Click the js button to swicth from the JavaScript expression to specific timezones. 2. Choose a specific timezone other than (use default). 3. Click the js button again to switch back to the JavaScript expression.
Problem summary
Originally, selecting ?(use default)? for the timezone of an activity used the default timezone from the configuration file (100Custom.xml) and ignored the timezone setting defined for the business process definition (BPD) that contained the activity. The enhancement to respect the BPD's timezone setting disabled the JavaScript expression if the name of the timezone is not ?(use default)?.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that ensures the JavaScript expression for the timezone of an activity is considered if the JavaScript expression is selected. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR54234: 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 JR54234, 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.
