SOA suite not starting up

Question

Hi,
I am trying to start soa suite, and it is not starting up. It had been working fine till yesterday, and now it has stopped working. I have restarted my machine couple of times, but that doesnt seem to help. It has some problems making a http connection to the orabpel process at http://localhost:8888/orabpel . It tries all the combinations as localhost, pdalmia-us, ip address etc etc, but still not able to make connection. It looks like the server itself does not get started because I can not browse to http://localhost:8888 to get to the em page. Please help.
Thanks,
Prabhat

Answer 1

Looks like there is something wrong with the database connections for MDS. Login to Admin Console and go to Services -> Data Sources. Check the host, port and other connection parameters for the "MDS_LocalTxDataSource" data-source. Verify the details by trying to connect the same MDS schema from any database client. By the way, the error is quite clearly mentioned in this case, which is "Unknown host specified". I guess, the host entry is invalid.
Hope it helps !
