JR52374: CANNOT SPECIFY DEFAULT PORTS FOR THE NODE AGENT BY USING PROFILE OPTIONS

8.5.5.0-WS-BPM-IFJR52374
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you create a managed node profile by using the BPMConfig
  command and you specify default ports by setting the
  bpm.de.node.#.profileOptions=-defaultPorts property in the
  configuration properties file, the -defaultPorts option is
  ignored and the node agent is created by using the port
  assignments computed by WebSphere Application Server.
  

Local fix

• -Defaultports should set the proper port settings

  The BPMConfig command did not pass the - defaultPorts option
  from the bpm.de.node.#.profileOptions configuration file
  property when it created a managed node profile. As a result,
  the -defaultPorts option does not work as expected.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.5 that ensures the
  BPMConfig command passes the -defaultPorts option (if it is
  specified) from the bpm.de.node.#.profileOptions configuration
  file property when creating the node agent.
