Shadow catcher not showing correct shadow on hdri environment.
 
Hi Kirgman,
The shadow stay the same on shadow catcher material when I rotate the envHDRI map.Could this be the shadow of default lights in max. or the shadow of envHDRI un-rotated?

Harry Setiawan, hello!
The non moving shadow can appear from the regular CentiLeo light source if you enabled them. Try to switch on/off them.
The shadows coming from the HDRI rotate following HDRI lat/long rotation.
Also there are shadow weight parameters on the light source settings - they can be increased/decreased to change the intensity of shadow on shadow catcher object.

I forgot, there are 2 vray lights. Shadow disappear after I delete them.
Is there a way to make the background white or transparent when using HDRI environment?

Edit: I found by override the shadow catcher can not change the background, how about alpha channel?

The shadow catcher override is responsible for lighting emission that creastes the shadows.
If you want to make white background then override the camera override environment in render settings / Environment tab.
If you want transparent background then check the checkbox in render settings / AOV tab
