OBIEE 11g init.d Script
Right away I suggest you take a look at RittmanMead’s init.d script located here on github. This script is really well written and handles the startup and shutdown of Node Manager, Admin Server, bi_server, and OPMN. Enable it with chkconfig and and it will nicely handle server reboots. I also like to call this script via Ansible playbooks after deploying RPDs or doing a security migration to make changes take affect.
OBIEE 11g Manually
I would highly recommend setting up your boot.properties files for both AdminServer and bi_servers. This way you will not be prompted to enter a username/password during the service startups.
Create boot.properties files in these locations:
$ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
$ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/security/boot.properties
Put your weblogic username and password in these files like this:
password=<MyWeblogicPassword>
username=weblogic
On the next server startup the contents of these files will be encrypted and used to startup the server without login prompts.
Nodemanager
BASH
Startup
$ $ORACLE_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh
Shutdown
$ ps aux |grep NodeManager
$ kill PID
WLST
Startup
startNodeManager(verbose='true', NodeManagerHome='$ORACLE_HOME/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager/', ListenAddress='0.0.0.0');
exit()
Shutdown In this example I am using keyfile to login without username/password
nmConnect(userConfigFile='/home/oracle/installers/wlst/configfile.secure',
userKeyFile='/home/oracle/installers/wlst/keyfile.secure',
port=9556, domainName='bifoundation_domain',
domainDir='$ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/')
stopNodeManager()
Admin Server
Startup Script
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/startWebLogic.sh
Shutdown Script
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/stopWebLogic.sh
bi_server
In these examples I am using bi_server1, but might be another server number if this is a cluster.
Startup Script
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh bi_server1
Shutdown Script
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/stopManagedWebLogic.sh bi_server1
OPMN
In these examples I am using instance1, but might be another instance number if this is a cluster.
Start All
$ $ORACLE_HOME/instance1/bin/opmnctl startall
Stop All
$ $ORACLE_HOME/instance1/bin/opmnctl stopall
Start/stop single OPMN processes
- First get a status to see what is needing attention. This will also display the ias-component name ```bash $ ORACLE_HOME/instance1/bin/opmnctl status
Processes in Instance: instance1 ———————————+——————–+———+——— ias-component | process-type | pid | status ———————————+——————–+———+——— essbasestudio1 | EssbaseStudio | 27439 | Alive essbaseserver1 | Essbase | 27440 | Alive coreapplication_obiccs1 | OracleBIClusterCo~ | 27438 | Alive coreapplication_obisch1 | OracleBIScheduler~ | 27437 | Alive coreapplication_obijh1 | OracleBIJavaHostC~ | 27436 | Alive coreapplication_obips1 | OracleBIPresentat~ | N/A | Down coreapplication_obis1 | OracleBIServerCom~ | 27435 | Alive
In this case obips1 is down.
* Lets start it up using startproc with the ias-component name
```bash
$ ORACLE_HOME/instance1/bin/opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
- Check the status again and verify it is running
coreapplication_obips1 | OracleBIPresentat~ | N/A | Alive
12c
There are a couple of nice surprises when it comes to 12c. First, there are no more OPMN components to worry about. Second, Oracle was kind enough to provide startup/shutdown scripts out of the box! These scripts will control the Node Manager, Admin Server, and the BI server/components.
The scripts
Startup
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin/start.sh
Shutdown
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin/stop.sh
Status
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin/status.sh
Start/Stop single process
In this example I am starting obips1
$ $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin/start.sh -i obips1
Clusters
Another nice feature about 12c is controlling nodes in a cluster. On any additional nodes the only thing you need to start is the Node Manager, and then the primary server will handle the rest.
Additional Nodes
$ nohup $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bin/startNodeManager.sh &
