Access Server Exception:Error:Invalid document structure
Today I faced an error while restart the access server. First I have seen an Oracle Access manager operation error while access the protected url. I thought this error occurring because of access server was down. So I’m tried to restart the access server but it’s not coming up. Below error I have seen while restart the service,
[hostname bin]$ ./start_access_server
Using Linux Threading Library.
Access Server started with pid: 16024
[hostname bin]$ Access Server Exception: Error: Invalid document structure
Starting Access Server Watchdog…..
Access Server Watchdog cannot run, because there is no AAA Server to watch.
Again I have tried to restart the service but no luck. I don’t find any error in oblog.log file. The log level is TRACE. I’m totally confused why it happening. After some workaround I got some clue about this issue. My guess is it was happened because of space consumption or any file was corrupted. Based on my guess I have performed some work around.
Workaround are,
1. Check the usage of the disk and I removed the unwanted files.
2. After i tried to start the service but no luck, again finger crossed.
3. And I’m came to know some file has corrupted but I don’t know which was corrupted.
4. Finally I got the file which has corrupted, the file is obaccessclient.xml.
5. So I have replaced the obaccesscleint.xml file from my old backup.
6. After that I have bounced the service this time its came up smoothly.
