Starting OBIEE 11g Services

OBIEE 11g comes with fancy enterprise manager, and weblogic console, however if you have to restart the server for any reason, the services may not start back up on their own (unlike 10g). The checklist below will be helpful if 11g fails to start

1. Start the node manager:

/MiddlewareHome/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/nohup ./startNodeManager.sh &

2. Set WLS (weblogic server) environment:

cd /MiddlewareHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin

Setting the environment:

./setOBIDomainEnv.sh
./setDomainEnv.sh

3. Start the WLS:

nohup ./startWebLogic.sh -Dweblogic.managment.username=weblogic -Dweblogic.management.password=webdev123 &

Weblogic logs are located at:

/MiddlewareHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs
The server log file
/MiddlewareHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs/AdminServer.log

change auto boot file:
/MiddlewareHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties (this is the file as in nohup.out log)
/MiddlewareHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/security/boot.properties

4. Login to WLS console:

http://localhost:7001/em

and navigate to :

Farm>WebLogic Domains>bi_cluster.

Click control > Start

4b. Use following command to start BI application from command line :
cd /MiddlewareHome/instances/instance1/bin

./opmnctl status

./opmnctl startall

error log
/MiddlewareHome/instances/instance1/diagnostics/logs/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/console~coreapplication_obips1~1.log

This can be also started from EM

By now, services should be up and running. If not, check log files for error messages and you will need to do troubleshooting.
