Error description
When you run BPMConfig -export for a deployment environment that uses IBM DB2 for z/OS databases, the generated configuration file contains @TO_BE_REPLACED@ placeholders for the bpm.de.db.#.databaseName properties. Or, when you use Oracle databases and manually modify the Oracle service name or the system ID (SID) in the URL resource property for the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) data sources, the configuration file that running BPMConfig -export generates is missing the database properties for the Messaging capability and the databases for the CellScopedDB and EmbeddedECM capabilities are duplicated.
Local fix
Change the database information in the <Dmgr>/config/cells/<CellName>/cell-bpm.xml file to match the runtime datasource configuration

When you use an Oracle database with manually modified URL resource properties, the BPMConfig command can no longer match the IBM BPM data sources with the database information that is stored in IBM BPM's WebSphere configuration (WCCM) extensions.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V.8.5.5 that updates the BPMConfig command to generate configuration files that have correct database properties. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR51616: 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 JR51616, 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
Manually edit the configuration file that running BPMConfig -export generated and fix the problems with the database-related properties.
