SOA Suite 11g instance state is showing as question mark (?)

In the Fusion Middleware Control 11g console, when viewing your SOA composite instances, the State column may appear as a question mark, which is rather annoying.

To have the State display the actual state, do the following:

1.Log in to Fusion Middleware Control (e.g., http://host:7001/em)

2. Expand 'Farm_base_domain' and expand 'SOA'

3. Right-click on "soa-infra" and navigate to "SOA Administration --> Common Properties"

4. Check 'Capture Composite Instance State'

5. Click "Apply"
