Starting Oracle Business Intelligence on UNIX Platforms

Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence 4-5 Figure 4–2 Starting and Stopping on the Availability Tab You can use other methods to start and stop Oracle Business Intelligence system and Java components. For more information, see: ■ Section 4.4, Using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to Start and Stop Java Components ■ Section 4.5, Alternative Methods for Starting and Stopping System Components

4.4 Using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to Start and Stop Java Components

You can use Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to start and stop Java components. You can also use Fusion Middleware Control to start and stop the Java components, as described in Section 4.3, Using Fusion Middleware Control to Start and Stop Oracle Business Intelligence System Components and Java Components. To use the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to start and stop Java components: 1. Start the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. For more information, see Section 2.3, Centrally Managing Oracle Business Intelligence Java Components Using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

2. In the Domain Structure region, click Deployments.

3. The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console displays the Summary of Deployments page. 4. Display the Control tab. 5. Select a check box for each component to start or stop.

6. Click Start or Stop to start or stop the selected components as required, as shown

in Figure 4–3 . 4-6 System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Figure 4–3 Starting and Stopping in Administration Console

4.5 Alternative Methods for Starting and Stopping System Components

You can start and stop Oracle Business Intelligence system components using the methods that are described in the following sections: ■ Section 4.5.1, Using the OPMN Command Line to Start, Stop, Restart, and View the Status of System Components ■ Section 4.5.2, Using a Windows Service to Start and Stop System Components ■ Section 4.5.3, Using the Oracle BI Systems Management API to Programmatically Start and Stop Oracle Business Intelligence

4.5.1 Using the OPMN Command Line to Start, Stop, Restart, and View the Status of System Components

You can control Oracle Business Intelligence system components across a network using opmnctl commands. For information about OPMN, see Section 1.4.3, Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server OPMN Tool. To start, stop, restart, and view the status of Oracle Business Intelligence system components using the OPMN command line:

1. For the Oracle instance to administer, go to the following directory that contains

the OPMN command-line tool: ORACLE_INSTANCEbin

2. Run the OPMN tool using the appropriate opmnctl command.

Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence 4-7 Use the following commands to view status, start, stop, and restart the system components using OPMN on Windows for UNIX use the command .opmnctl. ■ opmnctl status Shows the component names and the status of all system components, as shown in Figure 4–4 . Figure 4–4 Status of Components in OPMN ■ opmnctl startall Starts OPMN and all Oracle Business Intelligence system components. The bi_server1 Managed Server must be running before you can start OPMN. For information, see Section 4.8.1, Confirming If the Managed Server Is Running and Starting It and Section 4.8, Starting and Stopping Managed Servers on Windows and UNIX. ■ opmnctl start Starts OPMN only. ■ opmnctl startproc ias-component= component_name Starts a particular system component. For example, where coreapplication_ obips1 is Oracle BI Presentation Services: opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1 You view system component names in Fusion Middleware Control by displaying the system components Availability region of the Availability tab in the Capacity Management page, and expanding the required entry in the Name column. For more information, see Section 2.2.2, Using Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle Business Intelligence System Components. System component names are displayed in the format coreapplication_component_name for example coreapplication_obips1 is the name of the Oracle BI Presentation Services component. ■ opmnctl stopall Stops all managed system components. ■ opmnctl stopproc ias-component= component_name Stops a particular system component. ■ opmnctl restartproc ias-component= component_name Restarts a particular system component. ■ opmnctl shutdown Stops opmn and all managed system components.
