Step by Step: How to Start OBIEE 11G services?

Dear All,

In this post, we are stating step by step procedure to start OBIEE 11G Services.

Please follow the order as instructed:

1. Start the Administration Server (Admin Server), which includes Oracle Business Intelligence Java components.
   http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10541/components.htm#i1147966
   
   Open an MS-DOS window and change the directory to

   <MW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin.

   
   Then, run the following command (which requires the administrator user name and password):

   startWebLogic.cmd
   
   or
   
   startWebLogic.cmd -Dweblogic.management.username=weblogic -Dweblogic.management.password= the_password

   
   
   Fill the user and password and wait till the message of the Admin Server is in
   
   "... running mode".
   

   Caution:
   
   If you start the Administration Server from a Windows or UNIX command-line window, then do not close the window later on, or the server terminates (unless the server is started as a background process from the command line).

2. Start Oracle WebLogic Node Manager (Node Manager). Only for Enterprise or Software Only Install.
   
   You can choose one of these ways to start Node Manager:
   1. From Command Line.
      
      Navigate to:

      <MW_HOME>/wlserver_10.3/server/bin

      
      
      If a Software-Only Install type was selected during installation, then a directory other than /wlserver_10.3 might be used.
      
      Enter the following command (which requires the administrator user name and password):

      startNodeManager.cmd

   2. Using Windows Services.
      
      Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
      Search for

      Oracle WebLogic NodeManager (C_OBIEE11g_wlserver_10.3)

      
      and Start it.
   3. Using Web Logic Scripting Tool (WLST)
      wls:/offline> startNodeManager ()
3. Start Oracle WebLogic Managed Server(bi_server1). Only for Enterprise or Software Only Install.
   
   In a Simple Install, there is no Managed Server component.
   Note: To start the Managed Server using the WebLogic Server Administration Console, the Node Manager must be running. Node Manager must be running to start servers from the Console but not to stop them.
   
   1. Using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console (WLS Console).
      http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10541/components.htm#BABIDGHD
      
      Use the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console (WLS Console) to check whether the Managed Server is running, and start it if necessary.
      
      Log in to WLS Console using the following URL:
      
      http://<host>:7001/console
      To see if Managed Server is up, navigate to
      
      bifoundation_domain-Server-Configuration tab.
      There should be two servers listed: AdminServer (the Administration Server) and bi_server1 (Managed Server).
      
      To start the Managed Server, if not running:
      bifoundation_domain-Server-Control tab.
      
      Select Managed Server (for example, bi_server1) and then click on Start.
      Repeat this step for each Managed Server.
   2. Using Fusion Middleware Control (EM):
      
      Log in to EM using the following URL:
      
      http://<host>:7001/em
      
      Farm_bifoundation_domain-bi_cluster.
      
      Expand the bi_cluster node to display the Managed Servers (for example, bi_server1). EM displays the status in the Deployments region.
      
      To start Managed Server: select bi_cluster, and click the WebLogic Cluster menu. Select the Control option from the menu, and select Start Up.
   3.   Start Using Command Line.
      
          <MW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin
      
          Example
          ./startManagedWebLogic.cmd bi_server1 t3://<administration_server_host_name>:7001
        
          Example:
          ./startManagedWebLogic.cmd bi_server1 t3://localhost:7001
4. Start the system components (including the OBIEE components).
   
   1. Using Fusion Middleware Control (EM)
      http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10541/components.htm#BABJFFJB
      
      Steps:
      http://<host>:7001/em
      
      Go to
      Business Intelligence-coreapplication-Capacity Management-Availability
      
      and start all (Start All), restart all (Restart All) or just start a component:
      
      • BI Presentation Services

        coreapplication_obips1

      • BI Servers

        coreapplication_obis1

      • BI Schedulers

        coreapplication_obisch1

      • BI Cluster Controllers

        coreapplication_obiccs1

      • BI Java Hosts

        coreapplication_obijh1

   2. Using OPMN (Oracle Process Manager) Command Line.
      http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10541/components.htm#BABEJHBH 
      
      Open a shell prompt and change the directory to

      <ORACLE_INSTANCE>/bin

      or

      <MW_HOME>/instances\instance1

      
      
      • To check the status:

        opmnctl status

      • To start all components:

        opmnctl startall

      • To stop only an OBIEE component:
        
        Start OPMN only
        opmnctl start
        
        • BI Server
          opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obis1
        • Presentation Server
          opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
        • BI Scheduler
          opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obisch1
        • BI Cluster Controller
          opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obiccs1
        • BI Java Host
          opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obijh1
      
       Wait and verify opmn statuses by running:

      opmnctl status

      
      The OPMN configuration file is in the

      <ORACLE_INSTANCE>/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml
      <MW_HOME>/instances\instance1/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml
      
      Example:
      C:\OBIEE_11g\instances\instance1\config\OPMN\opmn

      directory on Windows and specifies the exact environment that is used to start each OBIEE system component.
