"AdminServer has not yet started by master. Will wait for another minute"

AdminServer has not yet started by master. Will wait for another minute
First thing first , i thought its a db connection issue, since we see the below error in the log file:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
I checked the tnsnames.ora file at $TNS_ADMIN and found the following entry
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=xxxxxx)(PORT=1541))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=ebs_patch)
(INSTANCE_NAME=EBSPD1)
)
)
Ran the following in database so that the listener registers the service ebs_patch as well.
alter system set service_names='EBSDB,ebs_patch';
Ran adop phase=abort and adop phase=cleanup and re-ran adop phase=prepare.
Again , it failed with the error " AdminServer has not yet started by master. Will wait for another minute"
Upon researching , I see no single hit in metalink(support.oracle.com)
Upon searching in google, some people commented, that the admin server in the patch file system needs to be started manually, for this command to finish successfully.
I started up the admin server manually.
you can use the below command from patch file system
./adadminsrvctl.sh start forcepatchfs
or just run the nohup ./startWebLogic.sh &
from
/u01/install/APPS/fs1/FMW_Home/user_projects/domains/EBS_domain_EBSPD/bin
After starting the admin server, I reran adop phase=abort and adop phase=cleanup and re-ran adop phase=prepare and it went through successfully.
