Esb bootstrap failure

Question

when starting soa suite I get this in the $ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\oc4j_soa\log\*\log.xml
<MSG_TEXT>ESB bootstrap: Ping to URL "http://null:null/esb/ESBConsoleMain.html" failed. Will ping again...</MSG_TEXT>
     <MSG_TEXT>ESB bootstrap: The ESB designtime could not get initialized correctly. To fix the problem you may have to increase the ping count and restart the server.</MSG_TEXT>
PingCount=30
PingInterval=30
Have both esb-dt, esb-rt and bpel in the same oc4j_soa instance. Also tried to stop bpel, and restart only esb-dt,esb-rt, but the ping URL seems wrong.
http://null:null/esb/ESBConsoleMain.html
where does this ping url come from?

Answer 1

The host and port is retrieved from:
oraesb.esb_parameter table, where param_name=DT_OC4J_HOST and param_name=DT_OC4J_HTTP_PORT
You might want to verify the content of this ESB_PARAMETER table.
This is my content of the ESB_PARAMETER table
change the two first lines to your host and port.
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('DT_OC4J_HOST','localhost');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('DT_OC4J_HTTP_PORT','80');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_MONITOR_TOPIC_JNDI','OracleASjms/ESBMonitorTopic');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_ERROR_XATCF_JNDI','OracleASjms/MyXATCF');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_ERROR_RETRY_JNDI','OracleASjms/ESBErrorRetryTopic');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_CONTROL_TCF_JNDI','OracleASjms/MyXATCF');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_MONITOR_TCF_JNDI','OracleASjms/MyTCF');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_ERROR_TOPIC_JNDI','OracleASjms/ESBErrorTopic');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_ERROR_TCF_JNDI','OracleASjms/MyTCF');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_CONTROL_TOPIC_JNDI','OracleASjms/ESBControlTopic');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_DEFERRED_TCF_JNDI','OracleASjms/MyTCF');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_DEFERRED_XATCF_JNDI','OracleASjms/MyXATCF');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('PROP_NAME_ERROR_RETRY_TCF_JNDI','OracleASjms/MyXATCF');
Insert into ESB_PARAMETER (PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE) values ('ACT_ID_RANGE','891000');
