JR63488: THE CLIENTDOWNLOADSERVICEHOSTNAME PARAMETER IS SOMETIMES REQUI- RED FOR THE SETBPMEXTERNALECM AND UPDATEBPMEXTERNALECM COMMANDS

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• You can use the ceURL parameter in the setBPMExternalECM and
  updateBPMExternalECM in the following notations:?With the nodes'
   hostname and port,
  corbaloc::node1_hostname:BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS,:node2_hostname:BOOTS
  TRAP_ADDRESS/cell/clusters/your_websphere_cluster_name/FileNet/E
  ngine
  ?With the simpler corbaloc URI:
  corbaloc:rir:/cell/clusters/your_websphere_cluster_name/FileNet/
  Engine
  The second notation works only when IBM Business Automation and
  the IBM Content Platform Engine (CPE) are in the same IBM
  WebSphere Application Server cell. The
  clientDownloadServiceHostname and clientDownloadServicePort
  parameters are used to download the CPE client jar files from
  the CPE server. If the first notation is used, the parameter
  clientDownloadServiceHostname is optional because the
  information can be derived from the ceURL. If the second
  notation is used, the clientDownloadServiceHostname parameter is
  mandatory because the information can't be derived from the
  ceURL.
  
  Currently, you see the following error message:
  
  com.ibm.bpm.config.util.ConfigException: protocol = http host =
  null
  

Local fix

• If the simpler corbaloc URI is used for the ceUrl, add the
  parameter clientDownloadServiceHostname.
  

Problem summary

• This information isn't clearly documented nor is there an
  adequate warning.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available or will be available that ensures the proper
  message is added and these notations are documented clearly.
  

Temporary fix
