Any Change Request triggered by the Joiner Leave Mover Rule is getting rejected. The associated Workflow is also getting canceled. The the below error indicates that the object being saved contains a reference to another object that Hibernate is treating as a new (unsaved) instance. In the aveksaServer.log:

The Joiner Mover Leaver Rule is adding the entitlement to a terminated user. The Change Request items are in turn getting rejected in the initial fulfillment phase. As there is no need to proceed with fulfillment, the associated fulfillment workflows are transitioned to the Cancelled state instead of getting stuck at the starting node. 

A feature has been introduced in RSA Governance & Lifecycle under the custom flag "EnableAddEntitlementToTerminatedUsers" to Reject the Change Request items for terminated users by default.

Enable the "EnableAddEntitlementToTerminatedUsers" custom flag from the UI. This will revert the application to the correct behavior and the Change Requests will be completed successfully moving forward.
