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.
