Full recovery of a corrupt WebLogic embedded LDAP server by Peter van Nes
Today one of the Adminservers failed to re-start and was flooding the AdminServer.out with multiple EmbeddedLDAP java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException messages per second. I do admit, this is not the first article about how to recover from this issue, and probably not the last. Although i was able to Google multiple articles and blogs on this exception, all of the suggested solutions left me with a seed embedded LDAP. The good news is that by default a backup is made of the embedded LDAP every day at 23:05 and the last 7 copies are retained. You can find these setting by selecting the domain in the domainstructure of the Weblogic console and then open the tab Security > Embedded LDAP.
So you can recover fully from a corrupt Weblogic embedded LDAP server, just follow these few steps.
· Shutdown admin server
· Move the current data directory so you can access it later.
mv <domain_home>/servers/AdminServer/data to <domain_home>/servers/AdminServer/data.bkp
· Start the admin server Read the complete article here.
