SEVERE: An error occured while scanning for the next trigger to fire

Question

Hi All,
I followed below steps to configure Oracle BI publisher scheduler on oracle 10g database.
1.Log in to BI Publisher as a user with Administrator privileges and select the Admin tab.
2.Under System Maintenance, select Scheduler Configuration.
3.Enter the database connection information for the target Oracle database and user.
Database Type: 10g
Connection String: jdbc:oracle:thin://<hostname>:<port#>:<oracle SID>
Username/Password for the database user
Database Driver Class: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
4.Click the Test Connection button to make sure the connection information is valid.
5.Click the Install Schema button to install the scheduler tables.
6.Restart the BI Publisher application.
The Schema installed successfully.
But when I am starting the weblogic server I am getting below error and BI publisher application is not getting up.
INFO: Handling 6 triggers that missed their scheduled fire-time.

The system details are as below :
BI Publisher version : 10.1.3.4
Oracle DB : 10 G
Weblogic server :10.3.2
Please suggest to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
This errors occurs if you have configured some schema for the scheduler and configured it on BIP, but the configured schema is no longer available.
That is why I am suggesting you to replace the current quartz.properties file with the original file that exits during installation.
Then try to start the server, and see if the server starts without error.
After that you can try to configure the scheduler from BIP console.
thanks,
