Local fix
Run this command silently by specifying the -responseFile response_file parameter, which you can find in "Sample case configuration response files for the BPMConfig command" (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JB4/com.ibm.w bpm.ref.doc/topics/bpmconfigresponse.html).
Problem summary
This problem happens because using an LDAP-based Oracle URL is not supported.
Problem conclusion
A fix that resolves this "BPMConfig -update -caseConfigure" exception is available for future releases of Business Automation Workflow.
