Cause

The properties file that is created for the BPMConfig command is not saved in a format that can be parsed by the command.

Diagnosing The Problem




Resolving The Problem

After you edit the BPMConfig properties file, save the customized file in UTF-8 encoding. For more information on the BPMConfig command, see the product documentation.

For example, the following screen shot shows that you can use a Notepad editor to change the encoding when you save the file:



You might also be able to change the encoding from within the file editor. The following screen shot shows you how you can change the encoding in NotePad++ editor:





Saving the file as ANSI encoding, which limits the character encoding to a byte, also can help to clean up the file.

After you save the file in the correct format, rerun the BPMConfig command to complete the environment creation process.
