We installed a Fusion Middleware report and Forms 12.2.1.2.0 on a Linux Server.

This was a single node Reports and Forms servers.
After disabling the Non SSL Listen Port, we get below error in logs while starting the Managed Server with only SSL ports enabled.

Even if no cluster is used, the default Reports and Forms domain configuration creates a WebLogic Cluster.

To solve “Servers do not have a common channel to communicate over” errors do the following steps as administrator

1. Login into the Administration Console
2. Expand the Environment tab and navigate to Clusters
3. Select the and click ‘Replication’ subtab in the Configuration TAB
4. Find Replication Channel, check box beside “Secure Replication Enabled” (to set it as true)
5. Save
6. Rerun the steps 2 to 5 for all clusters
7. Activate the changes
8. Restart the full WebLogic domain

or in WLST:
Start wlst.sh and connect to the WebLogic Domain

connect('user','password','t3s://host01.example.com:7002')   startEdit()   cd('/Clusters/cluster_forms') cmo.setClusterType('none') cmo.setPersistSessionsOnShutdown(false) cmo.setReplicationChannel('ReplicationChannel') cmo.setSecureReplicationEnabled(true)   save() activate()

Rerun the same for the reports_cluster

Once done restart the full WebLogic Domain
