Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks and Regards
Atmane.

I wonder if the server-config.wsdd has been corrupted. Please have a look at server/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd

As Mark said:

This is the correct solution. It worked for me. Thank you.

The error can also occur if your JDBC adapter is not setup. In my case I spent some good time to read through all blogs and Tech community articles and finally realized (after reading problem log) that the SQL JDBC connectivity was not working. All I had to do was copy the sqljdbc jars to the WMJDBCAdapter package and restart IS.
