SOA_SERVER ( Managed Server ) Take too Long time to Start/Restart

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Fusion Middleware
On the weblogic console when trying to start managed Server it’s take too long time to start in my case it’s SOA_SERVER, almost 25 min only to start, which is not correct . to avoid this problem you need to follow the below steps simple but effective :-

Under Java Home ( That Used by Weblogic ) :-

cd /u01/app/fmw/jdk/jre/lib/security 

There’s file called Java.Security 

Edit this File using any Editor ( vi for example ).

Search for the following line :-

securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom

And Change it to :-

securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom

Or Another way add the below line to startup script in weblogic :-

-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom

Hope this will solve your problem.

Thank you
