Script doesn't run correcly on Suse startup (systemd)

Question

I'm using Suse 12 SP1 and I'm trying to startup a WebSphere Application Server on SO startup using systemd script. If I run it manually, it works perfectly, but when running using systemd, it doesn't.

Here are the script I'm using to run it on SO startup.

ibmbpm.service

[Unit]
Description=IBM Business Process Management

[Service]
User=root
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/opt/ibm/startBPM.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

startBPM.sh

#!/bin/bash

/opt/ibm/BPM/v8.5/profiles/Node1Profile/bin/startNode.sh
/opt/ibm/BPM/v8.5/profiles/Node1Profile/bin/startServer.sh SingleClusterMember1

I've checked the status of the service with systemctl status command, here is the output

systemctl status ibmbpm.service -l

As the log above shows, something wrong is happening when it tries to start the server, but I really don't understand what's happening because running manually as root (/opt/ibm/startBPM.sh) everything works fine.

I really appreciate any help.
