JR54309: WHILE RUNNING THE BPMCONFIG -START COMMAND, YOU'RE TOLD TO IMPORT THE CERTIFICATE FROM ANOTHER WEBSPHERE CELL

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you start a IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) deployment
  environment (DE) by using the BPMConfig -start command and the
  following conditions are true
  -You use a configuration properties file as the argument for the
  BPMConfig -start command instead of the profile name and DE name
  -A node agent of the DE is on the same machine where you run the
  BPMConfig -start command and the node agent has a SOAP port
  other than the default 8878
  -There is another DE configured and it also has a local node
  agent
  -The other DE's local node agent has the default SOAP port 8878
  assigned,and it is running
  you receive a message stating that the certificate must be
  imported from the other WebSphere cell. If you select yes or no
  twice, the node agent starts.

Local fix

• Select Yes to import the certificate.
  Or, ensure that there is not a different node agent running at
  8878 while using this command.
  

Problem summary

• The certificate prompt appears because BPMConfig -start uses the
   default SOAP port to determine whether the node agent is
  already running if you specify a configuration properties file
  on the command line instead of the profile name and DE name. It
  then incorrectly connects to the running node agent of the other
   DE which has the default SOAP port 8878 assigned.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in an IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 cumulative fix 2 that
  allows the BPMConfig -start to read the SOAP port that  the
  local node agent's profile uses instead of the default SOAP port
   number.
  

Temporary fix

• Before you run the BPMConfig -start command, shut down the other
   DE's local node agent.
