Hello,
I need help recovering my WebLogic domain for BI Publisher (12.2.1.3) in my Quality environment.
While trying to fix a startup issue (“Boot identity not valid”), I accidentally executed an mv command to rename the file SerializedSystemIni.dat inside the BI domain security folder:
mv /u01/config/domains/quabiDomain/security/SerializedSystemIni.dat \ /u01/config/domains/quabiDomain/security/SerializedSystemIni.dat_old
Unfortunately the file was not renamed to _old. It completely disappeared and I do not have any backup of the original file.
After this happened, the BI Publisher AdminServer will not start anymore, and I receive the following errors:
Missing SerializedSystemIni.dat
SerializedSystemIni is empty [Management:141266]
Parsing failure in config.xml
Server state changed to FAILED
The log shows:
Caused By: weblogic.descriptor.ResourceUnavailable
Exception: Missing SerializedSystemIni.dat
- WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3.0
- BI Publisher domain:
/u01/config/domains/quabiDomain
- The file
SerializedSystemIni.dat is no longer present in quabiDomain/security
boot.properties exists and contains valid credentials in plain text- The AdminServer refuses to start because it cannot decrypt encrypted attributes in
config.xml without the SerializedSystemIni.dat
How can I safely regenerate or rebuild the SerializedSystemIni.dat file for this domain?
I still have the complete domain directory except for the original SerializedSystemIni.dat, so I am hoping there is a way to recover without rebuilding the whole domain.
Any guidance or official recovery steps would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
