Oracle Fusion Middleware Start-up Issue : jps-config.xml No such file or directory : startScriptEnabled
This post covers error message and fix while starting Oracle Fusion Middleware application (OAM, WebCenter, SOA, OBIEE, UCM ..) using WebLogic Console . Error message reported in logs under $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/[server_name]/logs was java.io.FileNotFoundException jps-config.xml (Full Error at end of post).
So what is jps-config.xml for and where is this file stored ?
Java Policy Store (JPS) (More here and here) is configuration file used to configure Policy, Credential, Key Store, Login Module and User Identity Store location.
Where is this file located ?
Default location for this file is under $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig and is defined by parameter –Doracle.security.jps.config
.
Why server start-up is expecting this file under $DOMAIN_HOME/config (check error message for full error stack) ?
Server was started using WebLogic Console or Node Manager (NMStart) that uses nodemanager.properties file. nodemanager.properties file contains parameter StartScriptEnabled=false.
StartScriptEnabled=false means NOT to use script (startWebLogic or startManagedWebLogic)
These scripts (start*****WebLogic) invoke setDomainEnv.sh that sets -Doracle.security.jps.config to location of $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/jps-config.xml

Fix: Ensure that StartScriptEnabled=true is set in nodemanager.properties file (Restart Node Manager after updating nodemanager.properties file.
or
Start Server using startWebLogic.sh or startManagedWebLogic.sh (from command line)
