Email Driver settings are getting lost after restarting server in soa suite 11g

The reason for the above behavior is that , when a managed server is started
from the admindomain , copy of the configuration files are created in the
admindomain as well
admindomain/config/fmwconfig/server/soa_server1/applications/*
Once the config files are created in the admindomain, starting the
configuration files in the manegeddomain
manegeddomain/config/fmwconfig/server/soa_server1/applications/* , will be
overridden by the configuration from the admindomain.

So , for the issue to happen, the managed servers should have been started
atleast once from the admin server domain.


The solution would be to delete/rename the managed server details from the
adomain
admindomain/config/fmwconfig/server/soa_server1 to
admindomain/config/fmwconfig/server/soa_server1.bckup
This will make sure that the configuration files are always loaded from the
maneged domain.
