Long profile names break the path length limit for Windows

Error message: "Update Failed: The URI length is greater than the Windows limit of 259 characters."

Reason

If you have a long profile name, it can result in file names that exceed the maximum path length allowed by Windows®, which is 259 characters.

Example

The longest name in a Business Process Choreographer configuration is
${user.install.root}\config\cells\${cellName}\applications\
  BPEContainer_${nodeName}_${serverName}.ear\
  deployments\BPEContainer_${nodeName}_${severName}\
  compensate_ejb.jar\META-INF\ibm-ejb-jar-ext-pme51.xmi
This name contains the following variables: user.install.root, cellName, nodeName (twice), and serverName (twice). If you use long names for any of these variables, the limit is easily exceeded.

Resolution

Create a new profile based on values for user.install.root, cellName, nodeName, and serverName that will not exceed the limit.
