CHANGES
A Windows Service "beasvc FormsRepDom_WLS_REPORTS" has been created as described in the document:
Note:1060058.1 - How to Install MS Windows Services For Oracle Middleware 11g Rel 1 WebLogic Admin and Managed Servers?
and also a Classpath.txt file has been created which includes the CLASSPATH. The file is stored on C or D drive. Then the installSvc.cmd (under MW\wlserver_10.3\server\bin) has been edited (installWLSREPORTS_Service.cmd) and a change like the following has been made:
rem *** Set Command Line for service to execute within created JVM
===================
if "%ADMIN_URL%" == "" goto runAdmin
set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% -classpath @D:\classpath.txt -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.management.server=\"%ADMIN_URL%\" -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" weblogic.Server"
goto finish
:runAdmin
set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% -classpath @D:\classpath.txt -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" weblogic.Server"
CAUSE
The cause of the error messages is that Classpath.txt did not include all jar files. After checking Classpath.txt the service could be started.
SOLUTION
- Check if all jar files, e.g. rwrun.jar, runtimembean.jar ... are in the correct directory and also added in classpath.txt.
- In setDomainEnv.sh/setDomainEnv.cmd in the DomainHome/bin, one can see the classpath set for WLS_REPORTS.
If it is needed to check which the classpath of the environment is, then do the following steps:
1. Uninstall service using the custom script from the note:
Note: 1339871.1: When Created WLS_REPORTS As Windows Service Then It Cannot Be Started
2. Manually start WLS_REPORTS using e.g. Start--> Programs --> Oracle Classic Instance - asinst_1 --> Reports Services ---> Start WLS_REPORTS
3. After successfully started, please check the WLS_REPORTS.log under $DOMAIN_HOM\servers\WLS_REPORTS\logs and search for java.class.path value.
4. Use the SAME value for your classpath.txt file; however, be sure there are no empty or blank spaces.
5. In addition, follow the exact steps detailed under section "If WLS_REPORTS installed as a Windows Service: " of this note:
Note : 1374389.1 : In-Process Reports Server with Job Status Repository Enabled Hangs after Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.4; Standalone Reports Server Okay
6. Execute your custom installWLSREPORTS_Service.cmd script
7. Then start the service.
You might have created the Windows service for WLS_REPORTS in the following way:
1. In file "Installsvc.cmd" : "set CLASSPATH=%WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%;%CLASSPATH%" has been replaced with "set CLASSPATH=%WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%"
Installed the service now.
2. Then you can copy from the command prompt the classpath that appears.
3. In Windows registry in path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Beasvc ClassicDomain_WLS_REPORTS\Parameters" replace the value for "-classpath" with the one that is on the clipboard.
4. Start the service and check in Enterprise Manager that the service is really running.
