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].". PRODUCTS AFFECTED Business Automation Workflow
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).
Problem summary
No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available or will be available that ensures running the BPMConfig command doesn't fail.
