Hi!!
I am new to Oracle AS. Today on an Oracle AS (10.1.2.3) on Solaris when we giving opmnctl startall it starting all the process but not the Report server.
$opmnctl startall
Startup in APPLICATION SERVER 02
opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...
================================================================================
opmn id=dgcisapp02:6200
12 of 13 processes started.
ias-instance id=app_inst2.dgcisapp02
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
rep_dgcisapp02_appHome1/ReportsServer/rep_dgcisapp02_appHome1
Error
--> Process (pid=13855)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Log:
/oracle/oraapp/product/10.1.2/opmn/logs/rep_dgcisapp02_appHome1~ReportsServer~rep_dgcisapp02_appHome1~1
The log file mentioned here only contains
10/07/06 15:46:12 Start process
10/07/06 15:55:23 Start process
10/07/06 15:55:28 Start process
10/07/06 15:55:32 Start process
10/07/06 15:57:02 Start process
10/07/06 15:57:06 Start process
10/07/06 15:57:10 Start process
if I give opmnctl status it is showing like this

The only change that I did today that I backed up logs from $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/log/OC4J_BI_Forms_default_island_1/
and made all the logs (jms.log,rmi.log,global-application.log,server.log,default-web-access.log) to 0 by giving
# >logname
as root user.
applications are writing to the new logs as I can see that its size is increasing.
Pls help me to resolve this out !!

There is no error in the report server log.
if i open the log in an terminal giving tail -f and from other terminal i give
opmnctl startproc ias-component=rep_dgcisapp01_ASHome1
3 times start process is appending in report server logs. like
10/07/06 17:52:56 Start process
10/07/06 17:53:37 Start process
10/07/06 17:53:42 Start process
10/07/06 17:53:46 Start process
Can not access em to start the report server.
