Closed as program error.
Error description
If you defined a group search filter for an LDAP directory in the Federated Repositories configuration, you might see many occurrences of the following warning message: CWLLG1087W User <user name> is a member of '<group name>', but this role does not exist. Ignoring.
Local fix
Depending on your IBM BPM version, you might be able to suppress the log warnings but not without also suppressing potentially useful warnings. For more information, see Why are my BPM SystemOut logs full of these warnings? CWLLG1087W: User (some-user) is a member of ''(some-group)'', but this role does not exist. Ignoring. at m-systemout-logs-full-of-these-warnin.html.
Problem summary
When IBM BPM queries for information from the user registry about a user, one of the results is the list of group memberships the user is included on. IBM BPM then tries to look up each of the groups in that list in the user registry. If a group cannot be resolved, a warning message is logged because the membership information stored in your LDAP directory might not be consistent with group availability in the directory. However, when you defined a group search filter for an LDAP directory in your Federated Repositories configuration, the same message is issued for the groups that cannot be accessed because of filtering.
Problem conclusion
A fix is/will be available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that allows you to configure whether to log the message. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR55329: 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 JR55329 , 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. To change the value, edit your 100Custom.xml file for IBM Process Center or IBM Process Server to contain an entry that is similar to the following entry: <common merge="mergeChildren"> <security merge="mergeChildren"> <warn-of-membership-referring-to-missing-group merge="replace">true </warn-of-membership-referring-to-missing-group> </security> </common>
