Error description

• The IBM Business Process Manager Process Admin Console has
  the capability to change the configuration of servers defined
  within process applications. This is done via the Servers tab
  for the selected application using the Installed Apps panel.
  
  In some cases, updating the configuration or testing the
  connection of a server results in appending a the string 'null'
  to the Context Path field.  This results in errors like the
  following; the Wrong url is used in Process Server for access to
  ODM ruleset
  .
  The url for accessing the Decision Server from Process Server
  isn't j correct (it contains 'null' ):
  'http://server.domain.com:
  9080/null/DecisionService/ws/ClientAcceptanceRuleApp/ClientAccep
  tanceRules?WSDL'
  
  In Process Center everything works fine.
  
    In the logs, the following is logged,
  [24/09/13 16:28:53:112 CEST] 000050d8 wle           E
