Overview
Error occurs when trying to execute commands such as prepareApplicationRepository.sh ("Prepare Application Repository"), installBootstrapProcesses.sh ("Install Bootstrap Processes") and syncAppsWithRepository.sh (sync Application repository) while trying to install Aurea Process (aka SBM) Enterprise version.
Eg: Error 500: Uncaught initialization exception created by servlet.
The Portal Server log has the following error:
Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/config/spring-config.xml];
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'ENTERPRISE_CLOUD_SETUP'

Solution
The execution of Enterprise version-specific install-related commands fails due to the script not being able to resolve the environment variable ENTERPRISE_CLOUD_SETUP. This variable gets set while installing the Aurea Process (aka SBM) Enterprise version. However, due to low-level permission issues, it might not get resolved while running the command.
This issue was experienced on CentOS. It was not experienced on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.x when using the root user for executing the commands.
Please make sure that you use the root user when executing these commands.
If any of the commands still fail, despite using the root user, the workaround is to manually update (hardcode) the value of ENTERPRISE_CLOUD_SETUP in the spring-config.xml, by replacing it with the value of OnPremise.
To achieve this look for the following in /WEB-INF/config/spring-config.xml file:
<import resource="classpath*:applicationContext-${ENTERPRISE_CLOUD_SETUP}.xml" />
and change it to
<import resource="classpath*:applicationContext-OnPremise.xml" />
Attached is a sample spring-config.xml file for reference.

Agent-Only: SBM-66799 - the issue was not fixed. Still present in the application.
