Unable to use KSS for Demo Key Stores, KSS is unavailable.

Error: 

Caused By: weblogic.management.provider.internal.RuntimeAccessImpl$ParseException: [Management:141266]Parsing failure in config.xml: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to use KSS for Demo Key Stores, KSS is unavailable.

If you continue to get KSS error, go to config.xml and set it to "false"

Symptoms:

Unable to start the services hosted on any server other than the Foundation/Weblogic server. 

Managed server logs are not created

If you disable KSS parameter in the config.xml it will get replaced to true every time you attempt to start the service

Solution: 

1. Copy the setstartupenv.sh from D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\Epmsystem\bin of the Admin Server to the distributed server on the same location 

2. Start the service

For Windows refer to my previous post : Starting managed servers on a new distributed environment EPM 11.2.X
