<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hello,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>We are using JBoss BRMS 5.3 on Websphere Application Server 8.x. We are using batch processing framework and hence on J2EE environment there would be multiple instances of a job processing data. Now the issue is that the processing framework we use supports parallel job execution. The same is probably not supported in JBoss BRMS due to which while executing business rule in a parallel mode the following exception is seen. The code to execute business rule is as below:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>knowledgeBase = knowledgeAgent.getKnowledgeBase();</p><p>statefulKnowledgeSession = knowledgeBase</p><p>                                                  .newStatefulKnowledgeSession();</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>statefulKnowledgeSession.getAgenda().getAgendaGroup(agendaName)</p><p>                                                  .setFocus();</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>if (!commands.isEmpty()) {</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>                                        // execute the business rule</p><p>                                        commands.add(CommandFactory.newFireAllRules());</p><p>                                        executionResults = statefulKnowledgeSession</p><p>                                                            .execute(CommandFactory.newBatchExecution(commands));</p><p>                              }</p><p style="min-height: 8pt;
