Error description

  • If the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) deployment environment
    was created with property
    bpm.de.node.#.clusterMember.#.jvmSettings.#.jvmArgs set in the
    configuration properties file, you receive the following error
    while the application server starts:
    
     "CWWIM0006E  Initialization of component, ConfigManager,
    failed:
    java.lang.NullPointerException"
    
    This issue occurs because the required "eclipse.bundle.setTCCL"
    generic JVM property is missing. Usually, this JVM property is
    set while configuring the IBM BPM deployment environment, but if
    bpm.de.node.#.clusterMember.#.jvmSettings.#.jvmArgs is also
    specified in the input configuration properties file
    eclipse.bundle.setTCCL (and other generic JVM settings) are
    overwritten.

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • When bpm.de.node.#.clusterMember.#.jvmSettings.#.jvmArgs
    properties are set in the input configuration properties file
    for the BPMConfig command, they are set exactly as specified as
    the generic JVM properties for the corresponding server instead
    of being added to IBM BPM's default generic JVM properties.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 that allows the
    BPMConfig -create command to add the
    bpm.de.node.#.clusterMember.#.jvmSettings.#.jvmArgs properties
    to IBM BPM's default generic JVM properties instead of replacing
     them.
    
    On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search
    for JR53620:
    1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from
    the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack
    level, and your platform, and then click Continue.
    2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR53620, and click Continue.
    
    When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download
    the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for
    additional installation instructions and information about the
    fix.
    

Temporary fix

  • Before you run the BPMConfig -create command, remove all
    bpm.de.node.#.clusterMember.#.jvmSettings.#.jvmArgs properties
    from the input configuration properties file. When the
    deployment environment has been created, use the administrative
    console to manually add these JVM generic properties as
    described in the following procedure.
    
    You can also follow this procedure when the IBM BPM deployment
    environment has already been created and the IBM BPM default
    generic JVM settings are missing.
    
    1. Open the administrative console.
    
    2. For a stand-alone server (IBM BPM Express) go to Servers >
    Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server1 > Server
    infrastructure > Java and Process Management > Process
    definition > Java Virtual Machine > Generic JVM arguments and
    make sure the following entries are included:
     For an IBM SDK, ${IBMSCMX} ${IBMGCPOLICY_GENCON} ${IBMJITPMC}
     For a Sun JVM, ${SUNMAXPERMSIZE}
     -Dsun.net.http.allowRestrictedHeaders=true
     -Declipse.bundle.setTCCL=false
    Note the leading dash that is needed for the ?-D? JVM option.
    
    3. For the deployment manager (IBM BPM Standard and IBM BPM
    Advanced) go to System administration > Deployment manager >
    Java and Process Management > Process definition > Java Virtual
    Machine > Generic JVM arguments and make sure the following
    entries are included:
     For an IBM SDK, ${IBMSCMX} ${IBMGCPOLICY_GENCON} ${IBMJITPMC}
     For a Sun JVM, ${SUNMAXPERMSIZE}
    
    4. For all application cluster members (IBM BPM Standard and IBM
    BPM Advanced) go to Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application
    server clusters > <appClusterName> > Cluster Members >
    <clusterMemberName> > Server infrastructure > Java and Process
    Management > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine > Generic
    JVM arguments and make sure the following entries are included:
     For an IBM SDK, ${IBMSCMX} ${IBMGCPOLICY_GENCON} ${IBMJITPMC}
    -Xmns256m -Xmnx768m -Xgc:preferredHeapBase=0x100000000
     For a Sun JVM, ${SUNMAXPERMSIZE} -XX:NewSize=256m
    -XX:MaxNewSize=768m
     -Dsun.net.http.allowRestrictedHeaders=true
     -Declipse.bundle.setTCCL=false
    Note the leading dash that is needed for the ?-D? and ?-X?  ~&#156;
    JVM options.
    
    5. For all messaging and support cluster members in a
    three-cluster topology (IBM BPM Standard and IBM BPM Advanced)
    go to Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters
    > <clusterName> > Cluster Members > <clusterMemberName> > Server
    infrastructure > Java and Process Management > Process
    definition > Java Virtual Machine > Generic JVM arguments) and
    make sure the following entries are included:
     For an IBM SDK, ${IBMSCMX} ${IBMGCPOLICY_GENCON} ${IBMJITPMC}
     For a Sun JVM, ${SUNMAXPERMSIZE}
    
    6. Save your changes and, in an ND environment (IBM BPM Standard
    and IBM BPM Advanced), synchronize them to the managed nodes.
