Managed services
Completed the upgrade of E-Business Suite to 12.2.4 and
tried to start all the application services using adstrtal.sh script as below.
$ adstrtal.sh apps/<appspwd>
The script exited with status ‘1’ and examining the log file
$INST_TOP/logs/appl/admin/log/adstrtal.log showed failure of all the managed
servers

Reviewed one of
the managed server startup logfile to identify the root cause of the failure.
Oacore_server1
logfile under $FMW_HOME/ user_projects/domains/EBS_domain_orcl/servers/oacore_server1/logs/
showed below
error details
<Authentication
denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot
identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been
changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the
boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first
time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new
values are encrypted.>
This error indicated that there is corruption happened
with the boot.properties and this needs to be fixed.
Solution:
As initial fix, backed up existing boot.properties file
under $FMW_HOME/ user_projects/domains/EBS_domain_orcl/servers/oacore_server1/security
and created a new boot.properies with below details
$cat boot.properties
username=weblogic
password=weblogic
After creation of this to encrypt this start
oacore_server1 managed server as below
$FMW_HOME/ user_projects/domains/EBS_domain_orcl/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh
oacore_server1 <admin_url>
Performed these steps to the remaining failed managed
servers.
Now stopped all the managed services from console and
then remaining services using adstpall.sh script.
Then restarted all the services using adstrtal.sh script and
all the services came up successfully. But when later tried to stop services
using adstpall.sh script couldn’t bring down the managed services.
Upon further troubleshooting found that the
startup/shutdown arguments for managed servers are incorrect resulting in
failures. This is found in config.xml
file under $FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<domain_name>/config.
By reviewing them process argument details it showed that
there is an invalid value for the property
-Dweblogic.management.server for
all the managed servers. Performed the below action plan to fix the issue.

2.
In the Change Center, click Lock & Edit.
3.

4.

5.
Select Configuration > Server Start
6.
In 'Arguments', correct the property value -Dweblogic.management.server to
the correct value as below.
-XX:PermSize=128m
-XX:MaxPermSize=384m -Xms512m -Xmx512m -….
-Dweblogic.Name=oacore_server1
-Dweblogic.management.server=http://orc11.localdomain:7006
-Djava.library.path=$MW_HOME/webtier/jdk/jre/lib/amd64:$MW_HOME/webtier/jdk/jre/lib/amd64/server:$MW_HOME/webtier/jdk/jre/lib/amd64/native_threads…
