<BEA-000362> <Server failed. Reason:
While restarting WL instance on 9.2 I got the above-mentioned error and I found that server is getting started but again it’s getting forced shutdown.
Solution:
Just go to that server instance directory and browse inside that for the
/local/BEA/weblogic92/domain-name/servers/server-name/data/ldap/ldapfiles directory path
You will get below listed files in that particular directory
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 79649 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.data
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 0 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.delete
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 648 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.index
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 0 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.lok
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 80126 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.tran
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 8 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.trpos
Just delete the below listed files inside the directory
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 0 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.delete
-rw-r--r-- 1 weblogic weblogic 0 Sep 13 18:48 EmbeddedLDAP.lok
Now restart the instance from the bin directory, this will get your Server up and running without issue.
