I'm pretty much at my wits end. I have searched the internet high and low, including the posts in this forum, and can't find the proper solution to why my standalone rep_server1 doesn't start.
Basically I'm setting up a test server for 12c in preparation for migrating an existing forms/reports application written in 11g. Oracle 12c is installed and forms is running. I have recompiled a couple of forms and confirmed that it works in 12c. So the forms portion is working. Now the problem lies with the report server. In 11g, we've never used the in-process reports server but always setup a standalone server. This is what I'm trying to do in 12c.
As with previous posts on this topic, I used the following commands:
1. Logon to wlst
2. execute createReportsToolsInstance(instanceName='reptools1',machine='AdminServerMachine')
3. execute createReportsServerInstance(instanceName='rep_server1',machine='AdminServerMachine')
4. in dos prompt, run startComponent rep_server1
There were no errors in any of the executed commands.
In the directory <domain_home>/servers/rep_server1/logs there are these files:
rep_server1.out
rep_server1_stop.out
rwEng-0_diagnostic.log
rwserver_diagnostic.log
zrclient_diagnostic.log
There is nothing in any of the files except rep_server1.out, and zrclient_diagnostic.log.

I did a search on the INFO: jsp startup failed and it had something to do with security. Specifically, the jps-config.xml and the jps-config-jse.xml. I checked both files and the database host connect parameters look fine.
Any ideas?
