Error description

• In Business Process Manager v 8.5 , once the customer
  configures a "Advanced-Only Process Server " IBM BPM Deployment
  Environment Type and creates the ND environment by deferring
  the database configuration (by unchecking the create tables
  option in the db configuration panel) , the customer is
  directed to run the steps outlined in the "Deferred
  Configuration" panel :
  
  Admin console > Servers > Deployment Environments > [DE_Name ]
  > Deferred Configuration [seen under "Additional Properties"
  section in this panel]
  
  For an Advanced-Only Process Server BPM Deployment Environment
  the "Deferrred Configuration" panel suggests the customer to
  run the "bootstrapProcessServerData" script as shown below :
  
  "Run the bootstrapProcessServerData utility from the command
  line. The utility is found in the Deployment manager profile
  directory : BPM_Installation_root/profiles/Dmgr_name/bin. More
  information, please visit IBM Business Process Manager
  Information Center. "
  
  
  And if the customer runs the bootstrapProcessServerData script
  as per the suggestion, the customer will see the following err
  :
  
  
  
  -----------
  
  
  WASX7357I: By request, this scripting client is not connected
  to any
  server process. Certain configuration and application
  operations will
  be available in local mode.
  java.lang.NullPointerException

Local fix

• -----
  For a "Advanced-only Process Server" BPM Development
  environment the user need not run the
  bootstrapProcessServerData script. The user can skip the
  bootstrapProcessServerData script and execute the rest of steps
  suggested in the Admin console > Servers > Deployment
  Environments > [DE_Name ]> Deferred Configuration  panel.

  ****************************************************************
  You are asked to run the bootstrapProcessServerData utility
  from the command line after you create an Advanced-Only
  Process Server deployment environment and database
  configuration is delayed; however, the
  bootstrapProcessServerData utility is not appropriate for the
  Advanced-Only Process Server deployment environment to run
  and, therefore, you will get the following error:
  WASX7357I: By request, this scripting client is not connected
  to any server process. Certain configuration and application
  operations will be available in local mode.
