APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The documentation says to provide the UNC path as a Windows
    network shared directory when you configure the network shared
    directory for an IBM Case Manager property
    (bpm.de.caseManager.networkSharedDirectory) in the deployment
    environment (DE) properties file before running the BPMConfig
    command to create the DE.
    
    However, you receive the following error if the network shared
    directory is specified in the DE properties and then validated
    by using the BPMConfig command:
    
    "CWMCB0254E: The property
    bpm.de.caseManager.networkSharedDirectory has an invalid Windows
    path [//server-name/ICMShare/CaseManagement/properties].".

Local fix

  • 1. Set bpm.de.caseManager.networkSharedDirectory with the
    default value, for example
    bpm.de.caseManager.networkSharedDirectory=${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/Ca
    seManagement/properties
    2. After the DE is created, run the following commands to update
    the network shared directory:
    
    BPMConfig -update -profile your_profile_name -de your_de_name
    -networkDirectory
    \\KG-V-FST-01\ICMShare\CaseManagement\properties -component
    ContentNavigator
    BPMConfig -update -profile your_profile_name -de your_de_name
    -networkDirectory
    \\KG-V-FST-01\ICMShare\CaseManagement\properties -component
    CaseManager
    
    In these commands, the networkDirectory can have the format
    //window123/abc or \\window123\abc
    
    For more information, see "BPMConfig command-line utility"
    (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JB4/com.ibm.w
    bpm.ref.doc/topics/rbpmconfig.html#BPMconfig__update).
