REP-0185: Bad load arguments supplied when starting up the Reports Server

My senior asked me to address oracle apps 11i report server issue. Report server was not coming up and I noticed given below error in "$COMMON_TOP/admin/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/rep60_$CONTEXT_NAME.txt" file.

Error

09/11/09-14:03:52 :: starting Reports Server for IRIST on port 7060.

REP-0185: Bad load arguments supplied when starting up the Reports Server

09/11/09-14:04:31 :: adrepctl.sh: exiting with status 0

 

Troubleshooting

 

I noticed issue could be due to MINENGINE, MAXENGINE, and INITENGINE fault configuration.
