Now, let us look at the fix.

1. Login to the EM (Enterprise Manager) console
2. Expand SOA and Right click on soa-infra
3. Goto Administration -> System MBean Browser
4. Minimize the tree structure (com.bea) to view Application Defined MBeans section
5. Expand oracle.as.soainfra.config -> Server:SOAServerName -> SoaInfraConfig
6. Select soa-infra
7. Update the property ServerURL with a valid URL [Ensure that the hostname here matches your environment hostname. Tip: It should be same as the front end host]
eg., http://hostname:port
8. Click on Apply

Restart your SOA managed server. You should now be able to successfully login to your BPM Workspace or Composer
