JR51493: YOU RECEIVE THE 'CWMCB0033E: THE REQUESTED ATTRIBUTES COULD NOT BE OBTAINED' EXCEPTION WHEN YOU RUN THE

8.5.5.0-WS-BPM-IFJR51493
Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 6 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running the BPMMigrationPreValidation command attempts to get
  the data source that has the JNDI name jdbc/TeamWorksDB and
  its associated attributes because IBM Process Server is
  configured.
  
  However, if the current environment was migrated from IBM
  WebSphere Process Server V6.x or V7.x to IBM Business Process
  Manager (BPM)V7.5.x or V8.0.x and didn't have Standard
  features enabled, this environment has only WebSphere Process
  Server features. As a result, running the
  BPMMigrationPreValidation command cannot retrieve
  jdbc/TeamWorksDB data source and the requested attributes.
  
  The following stack trace applies to this exception:
  Caused by: com.ibm.bpm.config.util.ConfigException:
  CWMCB0033E: The requested attributes could not be obtained.

Local fix

• Modify node-metadata.properties file
  
  1. Take a back up and then open the file
  dmgr_profile\config\cells\cell_name\nodes\dmgr_node\node-metadat
  a.proper
  ties
            2. Edit this file following the below instruction:
              # Comment out the below line

  BPMMigrationPreValidation does apply to IBM BPM Advanced
  V7.5.x or V8.0.x environments that were migrated from
  WebSphere Process Server V6.2.x or V7.0.x. As a result, the
  environment has only WebSphere Process Server features.
