Not sure why you're getting "java.net.MalformedURLException: Unsupported protocol: t3s"?

Problem:

You might be trying to run a SOA Ant command in Oracle SOA Suite 12c and even though the host and port and authentication information are correct, you receive the following error:

Solution:

This error is specifically related to the JAR file wlthint3client.jar being missing from the $MW_HOME/wlserver/server/lib directory.

1. Restore the missing file $MW_HOME/wlserver/server/lib/wlthint3client.jar.
