Problem conclusion

  BPMConfig command passes the '-portsFile' option (if
  specified) in bpm.de.node.#.profileOptions to the node agent
  creation.

  IS A WORKAROUND AVAILABLE? (Y/N)
  Yes. Complete the following steps:
   1.Create the deployment manager profile by using any of the
  supported configuration paths. For more information, see
   ¢â‚¬ “Configuring profiles and creating a network deployment
  environment ¢â‚¬  ½
  (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v8r5m0/index.jsp?top
  ic=/com.ibm.wbpm.imuc.ebpmps.doc/topics/cfg_nd_prof_sol.html).
   2.Start the deployment manager.
   3.Run "manageprofiles -create -templatePath BPM/BpmNode
  -portsFile portdef.props ¢â‚¬ ¦" (where the ellipsis ( ¢â‚¬ ¦) s
  the other parameters you have in your scenario), following
  this guidance:
  Do not set the -federateLater option.
  Set the -nodeName parameter to bpm.de.node.#.name from the
  configuration properties file.
  Do not set the "-cellName" parameter. It will be retrieved
  from the deployment manager.
  Set the -dmgrHost, -dmgrPort, -dmgrAdminUserName, and
  -dmgrAdminPassword parameters appropriately for the connection
  to the running deployment manager.
  
   4.Run BPMConfig or the administrative console Deployment
  Environment wizard to create the deployment environment.
