EPM 11.2 WebLogic Server Startup Error

Just a quick one, if you are trying to start up a WebLogic service on EPM 11.2 (Planning, for instance) and you see in the sysout log the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to use KSS for Demo Key Stores, KSS is unavailable

You should know that the reason for this is an entry missing in the classpath. Without this entry the service startup will fail.

To correct that, go to the Windows registry and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\Planning0\HyS9Planning_PLN1 (or equivalent).

Then look in the list of JVMOption properties for one with a value starting with "-Djava.class.path=". If you look at this value and scroll right to the end you should see a semicolon by itself. After that semicolon, insert:

E:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\modules\internal\features\jrf_wlsFmw_oracle.jrf.wls.classpath.jar


Then the next time you start up the service it will work!
