Hi CH
0. I have SOA on Unix, so I am pasting all details from unix .sh files. BUT same things should apply for .cmd files also in the windows side. So look for similar things in .cmd files.
1. Check your Classpath and specially the values for the home directories like WL_HOME etc etc. Also, if you have any spaces in the folder names sometimes that will cause the issue. Like if you install say in C:\Program Files\MySoftware\... etc, it may be an issue.
2. Usually when we start the soa server, this is the output we get:
** SOA specific environment is already set, skipping...
JAVA Memory arguments: -Xms768m -Xmx1536m -Xmn224m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m -XX:+UseSerialGC -d64
WLS Start Mode=Development
CLASSPATH=/home/myunixuser/Oracle/Middleware115/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jdbc_11.1.1/ojdbc6dms.jar:/home/myunixuser/Oracle/Middleware115/Oracle_SOA1/soa/modules/user-patch.jar   ......... BUNCH OF JARs3. Under your domain/bin folder, look at these files. When you start soa server, these files are called internally in this order. You can open all these files and check the contents and add your own echo commands to see exactly.
startManagedWeblogic -> startWeblogic -> setDomainEnv -> setSoaDomainEnv.
In startWeblogic I see the below command in the top section after calling setDomainEnv:
DERBY_DEBUG_LEVEL="0"
if [ "${DERBY_FLAG}" = "true" ] ; then
     ${WL_HOME}/common/derby/bin/startNetworkServer.sh >"${DOMAIN_HOME}/derby.log" 2>&1
So I suspect if your WL_HOME is set properly or not.
Conclusion, from Windows ENV, see if you have any weird stuff in PATH or CLASSPATH. In past I remember one user had a Classpath running into like 2 pages due to some bad settings. Once they cleaned it, they could start the servers.
