Error description

• When you install an IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) interim
  fix that requires the configuration data in the profile to be
  updated, you must run the BPMConfig -upgrade command manually as
   described in ?
  Profile update instructions for IBM Business Process Manager
  (BPM) 8.5.x interim fixes? (
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21637449).
  
  Also, when you install an IBM BPM interim fix that requires the
  IBM BPM toolkits to be updated, you must run the
  BPMUpdateSystemApp command manually as described in
  ?BPMUpdateSystemApp command?
  (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFTN5_8.5.0/com.ibm
  .wbpm.ref.doc/topics/rref_bpmupdatesystemapp.html). These manual
  steps should be automated like they are for IBM BPM refresh
  packs and fix packs.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED
  IBM BPM Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• Upgrading the IBM BPM profile for interim fixes was not
  automated because it would have been triggered the first time
  the server starts for each interim fix that affects the
  configuration. As a result, starting the server for the first
  time after installing interim fixes would have taken a long
  time.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that ensures the IBM BPM
   profile is upgraded only once, no matter how many interim fixes
   have been installed, which allows upgrading the IBM BPM profile
   for interim fixes to be automated as part of the first time the
   server starts like it is for IBM BPM refresh packs and fix
  packs.
  
  This fix also automatically updates the IBM BPM toolkits the
  first time the deployment manager (IBM BPM Standard and IBM BPM
  Advanced) or the stand-alone server (IBM BPM Express) starts.
  
  Important: Interim fix JR53069 only enables upgrade automation.
  When fixes require that profiles or toolkits be upgraded, those
  fixes must include an action to trigger the automated upgrade.
  Otherwise, the upgrade remains manual.
