JR57589: AFTER UPGRADING TO IBM BPM V8.5.7 CF2016.12, YOU SEE HTTP ERRORS BECAUSE DOUBLE SLASHES ARE IN THE GENERATED IBM BPM URLS

bpm.8570.cf2017.03.delta.repository
Downloading IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2017.03

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After you upgrade an IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
  deployment environment (DE) that has virtual hosts with
  uriPrefix="" set to CF2016.12, generated URLs contain double
  slashes (//), which leads to various 401 or 404 http errors. For
  example, when you log in to IBM Process Center from IBM Process
  Designer, you see the "EJBProxy Rest Api return 401" error.
  

Local fix

• Run the setBPMVirtualHost admin command to clear the empty
  uriPrefix value. For example, if your virtual host's name is
  web_vh, run AdminTask.setBPMVirtualHost( '-name web_vh
  -uriPrefix' ).
  

Problem summary

• The fix for CF2016.12 APAR JR56941, the empty string ("") is
  considered a valid value for uriPrefix. When an empty string is
  used, the result is an empty URI prefix, which is two
  consecutive slashes.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.03
  that adds the configured uriPrefix to the generated URL only
  when it has a non-empty value; otherwise, the empty string ("")
  is ignored when used with uriPrefix just as if no value is
  provided.
  

Temporary fix
