Local fix
Problem summary
While the BPMConfig command runs on a Sun Solaris platform, a method is called with a null parameter; however, the method does not accept null parameters. As a result, you receive the NullPointerException.
Problem conclusion
A fix that enhances the BPMConfig command on Sun Solaris platforms is planned for inclusion in an upcoming IBM BPM V8.5.7.0 cumulative fix. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM BPM Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
