Most of the notes mentions to set the StartScriptEnabled to true. But what is the effect of not setting the StartScriptEnabled?
Managed Servers won’t startup properly if you haven’t set this value. Some symptoms of not setting StartScriptEnabled to true are:
1. Error 404 — Not Found along with one of the following conditions
2. Failed Deployments under Managed Server > Deployments > Column State
3. BEA-149205 – Failed to initialize the application errors in Domain log
If you see something similar, set StartScriptEnable=true in nodemanager.properties file
