Environment Details:
- Existing Database: Oracle Database 11g 64-bit (11.2.0.4)
- Old Reports Version (previously working): ofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.1.0_64
- New Infrastructure Installer: fmw_12.2.1.4.0_infrastructure.jar
- New Forms & Reports Installer: setup_fmw_12.2.1.4.0_fr_win64.exe
- Operating System: Windows 64-bit
Current Status:
The new installation and domain configuration completed successfully. AdminServer is up and running on port 7001, and WLS_REPORTS is up on port 9002. The repository schemas were created successfully using RCU against the existing 11.2.0.4 database.
Problem Description:
I am unable to use the environment due to two critical issues that appear to be related.
Issue 1: Enterprise Manager Login Redirect Loop (MDS Session Failure)
When I access the Enterprise Manager login page (`http://localhost:7001/em`), the page renders fine. I enter the correct WebLogic administrator credentials. Upon submission, the browser is redirected to:
http://localhost:7001/em/faces/helppages/errorPage.jspx
The browser then enters an infinite refresh loop on this error page.
In the startWebLogic.cmd command window logs, the following error stack trace is printed continuously:
<Error> <oracle.help.web.rich.OHWFilter> <BEA-000000> <ADFSHARE-00120: Error encountered while creating the MDS Session. Application state will be reset. Please logout and log back in if problem persists.
oracle.adf.share.ADFShareException: ADFSHARE-00120: Error encountered while creating the MDS Session...
...
Caused By: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed IPv6 address at index 8: ldap://[192.168.198.130]:7001
Observation: The IP address 192.168.198.130 is an IPv4 address, but it is being formatted as an IPv6 literal ([ ] brackets), which is causing the underlying Java LDAP bootstrap context creation to fail. This appears to be preventing the MDS (Metadata Services) session from initializing.
Issue 2: WLS_REPORTS Hangs and Health Degrades to Warning
While trying to verify the Reports Server deployment with the basic diagnostic URL:
http://localhost:9002/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo
The browser loading indicator spins indefinitely. The request never completes, and no output (server info or error) is displayed. After several minutes of this hanging state, the WLS_REPORTS managed server health status in the WebLogic console changes from OK to Warning.
Goal:
I simply want to run a simple test report using rwservlet to confirm that the 12.2.1.4 Reports Server is functioning correctly against the existing 11g database. However, I am stuck at getserverinfo and cannot access the EM console to check deployment status.
Question:
1. Configuration Error: What specific configuration step could have caused the internal LDAP URL to be formatted as ldap://[IPv4] instead of ldap://IPv4?
2. Hanging Reports Servlet: Is the hanging WLS_REPORTS issue a direct consequence of the MDS/LDAP connection failure in the AdminServer, or is it a separate issue? Where should I look to debug the rwservlet hang?
Any guidance on correcting the LDAP URL format in the domain configuration files would be greatly appreciated.
