Can't start Foundationservice Error with EPMregistry?

Hi all , I have recently install EPM 11.1 in linux . it starts well at first. but it gets error while i start today. start-FoundationServices0-out.log ====== Registry was NOT initialized sucessfully The registry was not initialised properly, registry update disabled loggingUpdateWORKSPACE.block file exist or the system is running in the Fusion mode, skipping logging.xml configuration ".> ===== I also check the all server status in weblogic , Foundation service displays running. while i access to shared service web site ,it get 404 error. Regards, Chelsea 1.- Re-run config tool on that server and re-configure the Shared Services database. When prompted select reuse existing tables. Regards, John A. Booth http://www.metavero.com

I've has a similar problem recently, finally traced it back to a problem (my error) with the configuration. Was doing individual databases (SQL Server) for each app, and must have got one wrong which left the system pointing to an incorrect database for shared services. This can be fixed by editing the xml file that stores the database information. 

For EMPregistry the file is located at:
\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\config\jdbc
called EPMSystemRegistry-jdbc.xml

Line 5 reads
jdbc:weblogic:sqlserver://:1433;databaseName=;loadLibraryPath=\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib

change , and (I inserted these for clarity - the original has the actual names) to suit your installation.

Naturally, restart services afterwards.

Hope this helps someone else.

Hi All,

Found this thread when looking at a similar problem myself. In our system, for some reason, one of our servers had the shared services database set to the R&A database. 

We changed it to HYPHSS as suggested but it's not so easy if your passwords are different.

Anyway, after some searching I found the link http://weblogicserver.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-encrypt-clear-text-password-with.html

To get it running for EPM components, use the following command:

java -Dweblogic.RootDirectory="/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem" -cp "/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic.jar" weblogic.security.Encrypt YOURPASSWORD

Replace with the right directory and YOURPASSWORD with the database password. It will return an AES string which you can paste into the EPMSystemRegistry-jdbc.xml file.

Thanks to posters here getting me started in the right direction though!
