Metalink Note 579106.1 tells us the cause and resolution:

Cause

These messages are generated when you use the OEM Grid Control to monitor the HTTP server or other application server components from it .

The reason is the Grid control is not certified to monitor iAS 1.0.2.2.

Solution

To implement the solution , please execute the following steps to avoid generation of these messages :

1. Stop the OEM Grid agent.

2. Remove the monitoring for the iAS 1.0.2.2 used by E-Business Suite

3. Bounce Apache server.
