 Product(s):Mapviewer, Web Service
 Version(s):04.07.0.0
 Environment:N/A
 Area:Oracle Weblogic
 Subarea:N/A

 

Problem

After minor changes in mapviewerconfig.xml file user can't start WLS_MAPVR (Maps) service in Oracle Weblogic console. After Start command it is shown as SHUTDOWN.

The same issue can reappear on restarting other services on WebLogic, eg WLS_SOA. The error on Weblogic console after WLS_XXX service has been restarted:

Solution

More information about the issue is on Oracle Support web page The Mapviewr jar signing has expired in Weblogic server logs: 

Steps to resolve the issue:

Open Oracle Weblogic console and set NodeManager type to 'Plain' (1). Save changes.

Set SecureListener=false in nodemanager.properties file (2). Save changes.

Restart both Oracle AdminServer and NodeManager services (3):

Check is WLS_xxx service has been started in Weblogic conole?

If it hasn't resolved the issue - the Mapviewer service has not been started then try another workaround:

Make sure the settings (on steps 1 and 2 above) have been changed and saved.
Run the command below manually on command prompt :
      startManagedWebLogic.cmd <Managed_Server_Name> <Admin_URL>

    this script is located in the default Weblogic install folder – <domain_home>\bin folder , e.g. C:\Oracle\Product\Middleware\user_projects\domains\frmv\bin  

  run :

C:\Oracle\Product\Middleware\user_projects\domains\frmv\bin> startManagedWebLogic.cmd WLS_MAPVR http://DTLEXTAPP01.bentley.com:7001

the machine URL should be shown in Weblogic console under Machines menu tree
The script asks for WebLogic server’s credentials e.g. weblogic\wls_admin1, entering which should start the server. Please make a note that closing above Command Window will shut down the server.
