Deploying a snapshot for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) fails with a branch not found error

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you deploy a snapshot for IBM Business Process Manager, it fails to install. When you check the SystemOut.log file for the target Process Server, you see the following error: com.ibm.bpm.pal.PALException: Branch with ID Branch.f976ded0-3eb5-486f-a530-645a90b5337c not found.

Symptom

The two main factors for this issue are:

  • This issue generally does not occur on the first installation attempt after you restart the server.
  • In the error stack, during the installation process, you can see text that is similar to the following messages:
    CWLLG2229E: An exception occurred in an EJB call.  Error: Branch with ID Branch.1c965df4-3789-4712-aa1d-0194421e6b07 not found.
