Error description

• When you create a profile by using the BPMConfig command and
  the profile path already exists, the validation fails with the
  following error message even if the directory is empty:
  
  com.ibm.bpm.config.BPMConfig.main(): The profile path
  <profilePath> must not exist.
  com.ibm.bpm.config.util.ConfigException: The profile path
  <profilePath> must not exist.

Local fix

• Use a non-existing profile path with the BPMConfig command if
  you want to set a custom directory for the profile data. For
  instance, specify a profile path to the parent directory which
  will then contain the subdirectories of the profiles.
