About Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence

Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence 4-3 If the file is automatically created but the Administration Server does not start, then the file is deleted on the assumption that the credentials are invalid. This deletion avoids including readable text for passwords in the boot.properties file before Oracle WebLogic Server encrypts that text. However, the Administration Server can fail to start for reasons other than invalid credentials. If the boot.properties file exists and was created by a user but the server does not start, then the file is not deleted.

4.2.2 Starting Oracle Business Intelligence on UNIX Platforms

To start the Oracle Business Intelligence system on UNIX platforms: 1. Start the Administration Server which includes Oracle Business Intelligence Java components. For information, see Section 4.7, Starting and Stopping the Administration Server and All Oracle Business Intelligence Java Components on Windows and UNIX. 2. If an Enterprise or Software Only Install type was performed, then start Oracle WebLogic Node Manager manually as follows: a. Navigate to: MW_HOMEwlserver_10.3serverbin If a Software-Only Install type was selected during installation, then a directory other than wlserver_10.3 might be used. b. Enter the following command which requires the administrator user name and password: .startNodeManager.sh You can also start Node Manager using a script. For information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Node Manager Administrators Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server. 3. If an Enterprise or Software Only Install type was performed, then use the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to check whether the Managed Server is running, and start it if necessary. Note: To start the Managed Server using the WebLogic Server Administration Console, the Node Manager must be running. For information, see Section 4.8.1, Confirming If the Managed Server Is Running and Starting It. 4. Start system components. ■ Using Fusion Middleware Control For information, see Section 4.3, Using Fusion Middleware Control to Start and Stop Oracle Business Intelligence System Components and Java Components. ■ Using the opmnctl command line For information, see Section 4.5.1, Using the OPMN Command Line to Start, Stop, Restart, and View the Status of System Components. 4-4 System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 4.3 Using Fusion Middleware Control to Start and Stop Oracle Business Intelligence System Components and Java Components If the Oracle Business Intelligence system has been started, then you can start, stop, and restart the Oracle Business Intelligence system, including selected system components and Java components using Fusion Middleware Control. If Fusion Middleware Control is not available, then see Section 4.6, Confirming Whether the Administration Server Is Running. To start, stop, and restart Oracle Business Intelligence system components and Java components using Fusion Middleware Control: 1. Go to the Business Intelligence Overview page, as described in Section 2.2.2, Using Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle Business Intelligence System Components and shown in Figure 4–1 . Figure 4–1 Overview Page in Fusion MIddleware Control 2. Use the buttons in the System Shutdown Startup area to start, stop, or restart the entire Oracle Business Intelligence system, including all Java components and system components. Restart stops the system before starting it again. 3. To start, stop, or restart individual Oracle Business Intelligence system components, display the Availability tab of the Capacity Management page, then select a process for a selected server and use the appropriate button to start, stop, or restart individual system components as appropriate, as shown in Figure 4–2 .
