This error occurs because the esb runtime configuration is not done properly

Go to the following location

SOA_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_SOA/applications/esb-rt/META-INF/orion-application.xml

SOA_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_ESBDT/applications/esb-rt/META-INF/orion-application.xml

there you will find the following lines commented

<property name="cluster_name" value="ESB" />
<property name="primary_oc4j" value="true" />
<property name="xa_timeout" value="60" />
<property name="jms_receive_timeout" value="30" />
<property name="esbSystemForBPEL" value="BPELSystem" />
<property name="InboundRetryCount" value="3" />
<property name="InboundRetryInterval" value="5" />
<property name="InboundRetryEnabled" value="true" />
<property name="OutboundRetryCount" value="3" />
<property name="OutboundRetryInterval" value="5" />
<property name="OutboundRetryEnabled" value="true" />
<property name="PingCount" value="15" />
<property name="PingInterval" value="15" />

Uncomment these lines

Change the cluster name to ESBCLUSTER or anything which should be same in both the nodes.

SEt the "primary_oc4j" value="false"

Increase the ping count and ping interval to 30

so your configuration after changes should look like

<property name="cluster_name" value="ESBCLUSTER" />
<property name="primary_oc4j" value="false" />
<property name="xa_timeout" value="60" />
<property name="jms_receive_timeout" value="30" />
<property name="esbSystemForBPEL" value="BPELSystem" />
<property name="InboundRetryCount" value="3" />
<property name="InboundRetryInterval" value="5" />
<property name="InboundRetryEnabled" value="true" />
<property name="OutboundRetryCount" value="3" />
<property name="OutboundRetryInterval" value="5" />
<property name="OutboundRetryEnabled" value="true" />
<property name="PingCount" value="30" />
<property name="PingInterval" value="30" />

Once changes are made .Restart your container and check the issue again.
