Oracle Fusion Middleware: Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Start/Stop Services And Servers

In Oracle Business Intelligence 11g starting and stoping servers can be done from the shortcuts. The following image shows us from where we can set the shortcut.

Below is the output of how they look on the desktop.

After the installation of OBIEE, these should be set in order to have a more compact system. The executables that are called are located in the Oracle Instance Home(Example: C:\oracle\obiee\instance\instance1\bifoundation_domain\OracleBIApplication )


Starting and Stopping Servers One by One:

Sometimes it takes too long to stop and start all the services when all we have to do is to stop just one service. When this is the case we could always run cmds and then start and stop the servers one by one.
That is to say if there is a specific problem, we will be to act according to it.

Three Steps: There are 3 servers that we must start and stop if we had only installed Oracle BI. If we have Oracle BI Apps installed, then there must be an ODI server that should be deployed.

1-Starting Weblogic Server: To do that we first send a cmd file shortcut to our desktop.

Then we specifiy the location for which command line should start from, in the start in section just like below, by right clicking to command line and from there clicking on the properties
.

For weblogic server we could write in "Start in" topic :C:\oracle\obiee\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\bin. Which shows that it is in the Domain home. After setting this and clicking Ok, we should be able to go directly into the directory we want.  Then we enter "startWebLogic.cmd"

2-Starting Managed Server(BI_Server1):

For BI Server, the configuration steps are exactly the same as the above. Bu for command wise, we enter startManagedWebLogic.cmd bi_server1

 3- Starting OPMN:

To start opmn, we will set the instance home for the directory to start in which is in this case C:\oracle\obiee}instances\instance1\bin\ . Then to start the OPMN we issue the "opmctl.bat startall"

Service Startup Order of the OBIEE 11g:

1- Weblogic
2- BI_Server
3- OPMN

Service Stop Order of the OBIEE 11g:

1- OPMN
2- BI_Server
