Error description
If there are many IBM Workflow Center installations on the same system and each Workflow Center runs with its own OS user, you might notice a file system permission clash. This clash prevents theme generation and regeneration. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Automation Workflow
Local fix
If each IBM Business Automation Workflow installation runs with its own OS user, but all installations belong to the same OS group, change the umask on the /tmp/bpmCoachThemeCompilation to include group write privileges.
Problem summary
The temporary directory for theme generation is hardcoded to the /tmp/bpmCoachThemeCompilation directory, which is used to create the coach themes for each project's branch that is being used. After the theme is generated, the contents are not removed or deleted in case the same theme needs to be regenerated. Because the directory's user/group permissions reflect the OS user Workflow Center was started with, two or more Workflow Centers might try to generate the coach theme for the same project branch at the same time, which causes one or more generations to fail. However the coach theme generator is triggered only when the theme is updated or the process application dependencies are updated.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available or will be available that ensures the temporary folder name used for coach theme generation is unique for each JVM.
