BEA-000362, incomplete error
While setting up Service Migration in a small test setup on my laptop, I ran into this error:
<BEA-000362> <Server failed. Reason: There is either a problem contacting the database or there is another instance of ManagedServer_2 running>
It took me some time to figure out what the exact problem was. If the message was complete like this, problem solving would have been easier:
<BEA-000362> <Server failed. Reason: There is either a problem contacting the database or there is another instance of ManagedServer_2 running or the leasing table is missing from the database>
You can find the DDL for the default leasing table, called active, in a file called leasing.ddl which is located at $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/db/oracle/920 . If you happened to have changed the name for the leasing table, you obviously have to modify the leasing.ddl script accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Ah, yes that is a bit of lazy coding by BEA, i.e. two or more quite different code paths – one being a genuine runtime error, the others (database down or all the other reasons the table might not be visible) are more of a configuration issue – raising the same error.

The big caveat is that for tlogs the table is created automatically, so I was off guard (it took me some time to fall back into my usual debug mode, which is my bad obviously).
