PRODUCTS AFFECTED
Business Automation Workflow

Local fix

  • Run this command silently by specifying
the -responseFile response_file parameter, which you can find in
 "Sample case configuration response files for the BPMConfig
command"
(https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JB4/com.ibm.w
bpm.ref.doc/topics/bpmconfigresponse.html).

Problem summary

  • This problem happens because using an LDAP-based Oracle URL is
not supported.

Problem conclusion

  • A fix that resolves this "BPMConfig -update -caseConfigure"
exception is available for future releases of Business
Automation Workflow.

Temporary fix
