503 Service Unavailable when Launching Enterprise Manager

I have recently faced an issue on a domain migration where, when accessing the Enterprise Manager console, the following error was shown: "Error 503-Service Unavailable".

By reading the Doc ID 1297193.1 on My Oracle Support I was able to figure out that the actual missing configuration was on the targets.xml file that holds the information of the Farm Domain the EM shall be targeting.

This targets.xml file is located under:
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/sysman/state


On my case, this file was empty so I had to add the necessary information for the EM application to connect to my target Farm:
<Targets>
<Target TYPE="oracle_ias_farm" NAME="Farm_soa_domain" DISPLAY_NAME="Farm_soa_domain">
<Property NAME="MachineName" VALUE="abc.com"/>
<Property NAME="Port" VALUE="7001"/>
<Property NAME="isLocal" VALUE="true"/>
<Property NAME="Protocol" VALUE="t3"/>
<Property NAME="serviceURL" VALUE="service:jmx:t3://abc.com:7001/jndi/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.domainruntime"/>
<Property NAME="WebLogicHome" VALUE="/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3"/>
<Property NAME="DomainHome" VALUE="/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/soa_domain"/>
</Target>
</Targets>

Configure and Use OVD as Identity Store for Oracle Access Manager

By default the Oracle Access Manager comes with the “UserIdentityStore1”, This identity store is configured with the Embedded LDAP Server of Weblogic instance on which the OAM is running. However, the embedded LDAP server should only be used for testing or “proof of concept.” For production use, you should use external identity stores, such as Oracle Virtual Directory(OVD), OID or Microsoft Active Directory(AD).

Installing and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for OAM

Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager requires Oracle HTTP Server 11g (11.1.1.3.0, 11.1.1.4.0,11.1.1.5.0, 11.1.1.7.0, 11.1.1.9.0), which is included in the Oracle Web Tier 11g Installer. For information about installing Oracle HTTP Server, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Web Tier corresponding to the Oracle HTTP Server version you are using.
In addition, if you are using the Linux or Solaris operating system, you must install third-party GCC libraries on your machine before installing Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager.

Oracle HTTP Server is available as a webserver component in Oracle Web Tier. Download Oracle Web Tier 11g from Oracle. The following steps assume you have downloaded the Oracle FMW Web Tier and installed it on a Linux system.
