Oracle Analytics Publisher: 12C AdminServer.out is generating but logs are not writing logs to this file

AdminServer.out is of size 0 and nothing is writing to this file rather AdminServer.out00001, 000002 etc files getting created and those are getting written with server logs.

Root cause:

What was found in your setUserOverridesImpl.sh file is that you are starting the JVM with the parameter : weblogic.RotatingFileRedirector

that is causing the AdminServer.out to be empty.

This is the extract of the setUserOverridesImpl.sh file below:

# bug 30011801

#Add rotation of out files for weblogic servers

${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -cp ${MW_HOME}/wlserver/server/lib/weblogic.jar weblogic.RotatingFileRedirector -configOverride baseLogFileName=${DOMAIN_HOME}/servers/${SERVER_NAME}/logs/${SERVER_NAME}.out -config ${MW_HOME}/bi/modules/oracle.bi.sysman/env/stdout_config.properties &

this bug 30011801 is an Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition / Analytics System Management bug, not a WebLogic Server defect.

rotatedFileCount=10
baseLogFileName=AdminServer.out

Shutdown Adminserver
