Error starting up soa_server1 due to missing 'OracleSystemUser'

Problem:

We tried starting up our the 'soa_server1' on Oracle SOA Suite 11g, and the "soa_server1.out" log file showed the following error:

<Dec 23, 2010 8:15:03 PM EST> <Warning> <Deployer> <BEA-149078> <Stack trace for message 149004

Solution:

This is directly attributed to the fact that the "OracleSystemUser" WebLogic account was not created (this was due to another issue that had occured on the server).

1. Log on to the WebLogic Console (e.g., http://server:port/console)

2. Create a new group "OracleSystemGroup"

3. Create a new account "OracleSystemUser"


Applicable Versions:

• Oracle SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.3)
