Error description

• When you create the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
  profiles either by using the manageprofiles command or the
  profile management tool (PMT) GUI, select a non-default
  location (that is, a location other than
  <install_root>/profiles/<profileName>) for the profile, and
  run the BPMConfig -create command to configure the IBM BPM
  deployment environment but do not specify the
  bpm.dmgr.profilePath and bpm.de.node.#.profilePath properties
  in the input configuration properties file, the BPMConfig
  command stops with an error similar to the following error:
  
   CWMCB0003E: A profile was not created for DmgrProfile2.
  
  The BPMConfig log file contains a validation error similar to
  the following validation error:
  
      profileName: DmgrProfile2 is already in use. Specify
  another name.
  

Local fix

• You can workaround the problem by specifying theprofile  path
  in the deployment.properties file
  
  For Deployment manager use indicate your Dmgr iprofile path
  bpm.dmgr.installPath=/IBM/BPM855/
  bpm.dmgr.profilePath=/IBM/Profiles/myDmgr
  
  For customNode
  bpm.de.node.1.installPath=/IBM/BPM855/
  bpm.de.node.1.profilePath=/IBM/Profiles/MyCustomProfile1

  When the bpm.dmgr.profilePath and the bpm.node.#.profilePath
  properties are omitted from the input configuration properties
  file for the BPMConfig command, these properties start with
  the corresponding default profile location, which is
  <bpm.dmgr.installPath>/profiles/<bpm.dmgr.profileName> for the
  deployment manager profile and
  <bpm.node.#.installPath>/profiles/<bpm.node.#.profileName> for
  the managed node profiles. If a profile already exists at a
  non-default location, the profile is not found and the
  BPMConfig command tries to create the profile, which leads to
  an error.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 that allows the
  BPMConfig -create command to find  existing profiles even when
  they have been created in a non-default location and the
  corresponding bpm.dmgr.profilePath and
  bpm.de.node.#.profilePath properties have not been set in the
  input configuration properties file.
