  The problem is happening because wkplc.properties file is
  not the right file to look for the WpsDefaultHome and
  WpsPersonalizedHome properties. The right properties file
  for these properties is "wkplc_comp.properties" typical
  location of this file in portal installation is
  ?wp_profile?\ConfigEngine\properties.
  

Problem conclusion

• WpsDefaultHome and WpsPersonalizedHome properties values
  will be read from the wkplc_comp.properties file.
  
  The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application
  Developer v9.0.
