  LDAP user registry, augmenting the WebSphere Application Server
  profile with IBM Business Process Manager (BPM), you get the
  following error in the
  logs/manageprofiles/<profileName>_augment.log file:

Local fix

• To work around this, switch the user registry to stand-alone
  LDAP only after the profile has been augmented with BPM
  

Problem summary

• As documented in "Augmenting deployment manager profiles using
  the manageprofiles command-line utility"
  (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFPJS_8.5.6/com.ib
  m.wbpm.imuc.ebpm.doc/topics/mp_dm_aug_lin_orcl.html), augmenting
   the IBM BPM profile requires the default WebSphere VMM user
  registry to be configured. However, the IBM BPM profile
  augmentation code does not check the user registry type, which
  results in a NullPointerException if the default WebSphere VMM
  user registry is not configured.
  
  A fix that adds a check to the IBM BPM profile augmentation will
   be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.09. With this
   fix installed, you will see a more explanatory error message
  when trying to augment a WebSphere Application Server profile
  with IBM BPM when the default WebSphere VMM user registry was
  changed to something else.
  
  To determine whether the cumulative fix is available and
  download it if it is, complete the following steps on Fix
  Central:
  
  1. On the Select product tab, select WebSphere as the product
  group, IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the
  WebSphere options, All as the installed version, and All as the
  platform, and then click Continue.
  2. In the Text field, enter "cumulative fix?, and click
  Continue.
