Doh, twice this week, I've seen these exceptions in my IBM BPM Standard 7.5.1.1 server's SystemOut.log ( this is for the AppTarget cluster ): -

Each time, I spend a manic few moments trying to work out what\s gone wrong.
And then I remember …..
I did NOT bootstrap the database tables: -
$ cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin
$ ./bootstrapProcessServerData.sh
$ ./bootstrapProcessServerData.sh
Can you say "Doh!" ?
PS The reason that I'm doing this over and again is that I've been cleaning down my environment ( stopping JVMs, deleting WAS profiles, dropping the BPMDB/PDWDB/MEDB databases etc. ) multiple times, whilst I test the application of a series of iFixes.
