OIF 11g Admin Interfaces Unavailable

Question

Hey,
We have an install of OIF 11g r1 that will no longer allow us to access the EM management interfaces associated with the IdP or SP. The error we get is as follows:
Configuration settings are unavailable because /Farm_IDMDomain/IDMDomain/wls_oif1/OIF(11.1.1.2.0) is down.
However, when I go to check the Farm_IDMDomain the Deployments and Fusion Middleware components show that everything is up and running. Strangely enough, I have another instance on another box that is showing something is down in my Fusion Middleware component view but nothing is actually down and the server seems to running fine. Not sure how to proceed. I've logged an SR but so far have had no response.
tks

Answer 1

The OIF 11g administration is done via the em (enterprise manager) console of the weblogic instance where OIF is deployed.
1) Start the weblogic admin server.
2) from the browser: http://host:port/em (the default port is 7001, unless you hv given something else during install). Give login/password.
3) Then start the OIF application from the console.
This is going to work.
Instead of 3 above, you can start the applications from the command line also, but this is easier to do.
Hope this helps. Let us know.
