[19/03/2009 11:29:13:045 EDT] oracle.apps.mwa = $MWA_TOP

Exception in static block of jtf.cache.CacheManager. Stack trace is: oracle.apps.jtf.base.resources.FrameworkException: IAS Cache initialization failed. The

Distributed Caching System failed to initialize on port: 12442. The list of hosts in the distributed caching system is: 11ioltp.justanexample.com . The port 12442 should be free on each host running the JVMs. The default port 12442 can be overridden using -Doracle.apps.jtf.cache.IASCacheProvidercacheProvider.port=<

port number>

Metalink Note 461872.1 describes this problem.  This occurs when your java object cache port can not be contacted.  s_java_object_cache_port is the context file variable which needs to be changed.  If you would like to avoid running autoconfig, you can change the value of this variable jserv.properties and jserv_restrict.properties.  We changed it from 12442 to 12443:

jserv.properties:wrapper.bin.parameters=-Doracle.apps.jtf.cache.IASCacheProvidercacheProvider.port=12443

jserv_restrict.properties:wrapper.bin.parameters=-Doracle.apps.jtf.cache.IASCacheProvidercacheProvider.port=12443

Change the port number.
