Error 404--Not Found in SOA 11g EM console

You just have done a installation of SOA Suite 11g.

You are able to log in to the admin console page

http://host:port/console but when you are trying to connect to em console using the url

http://host:port/em you are getting an error like this


Error 404--Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.


This happens if you have not configured your domain correctly.Please log in to the admin console go to deployment and verify if you have em deployed over there.In my case it was not deployed .This is because when i have configured my domain i have missed to select the Enterprise manager


So in order to overcome this issue we need to extend our template to include the enterprise manager .Luckily we have the option to extend a domain.

So just go to the following location

BEA_HOME\ORACLE_SOA1\common\bin folder and double click on config.cmd

it will open up a gui choose the second option as below



now select the domain you have to extend.




now as you can see the enterprise manager was not selected earlier.I will select that and say next



Now its just keep saying next till it says 100% completed.

ONce done restart you server and check if you are able to log in to the em console.

To verify you can see if in deployment you can see em.
This worked for me and i am able to log in to the em console.
