Local fix
internal defect
Problem summary
This problem occurs when the admin console DE wizard tries to access the databaseName property for all data sources in the environment. However, this property is not required for Oracle and, therefore, might be missing on custom data sources.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.2 so that the admin console DE wizard no longer accesses the properties of custom data sources.
Temporary fix
