OBIEE 11g Configuration and Log Files Location and Scripts Locations

In this post, we are going to see where the log files in OBIEE 11g reside.

In OBIEE 11g, we have got Enterprise Manager Console, where we can check log files but we can still see these files in OBIEE install directory.

1. NQSConfig.INI and logconfig.xml

\OBI11G\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1

2. instanceconfig.xml

\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1

3. ClusterConfig.xml
ccslogging.xml

\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication

4. instanceconfig.xml (Second instanceconfig.xml dedicated file for BI Scheduler)
\instances\instance1\config\OracleBISchedulerComponent\coreapplication_obisch1

5. config.xml and logging_config.xml
\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIJavaHostComponent\coreapplication_obijh1

6. bridgeconfig.properties (For BI Persentation services Plug-in)

\OBI11G\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmwconfig\biinstances\coreapplication

7. opmn.xml (OPMN Config file)
/OBI11G/instance/instance1/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml
(It contains the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH values for the system components and the port number for OPMN and optional SSL configuration.)

8. boot.properties
/OBI11G/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/[managed_server]/security

Script Files

1. startNodeManager.sh
(Must be started to allow Managed Server to be started from Weblogic console)
/OBI11G/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh

2. opmnctl(Command line tool to start BI services)

/OBI11G/instance/instance1/bin
— OPMN can be used to automatically start BI on a Linux system. To do that following commands must be included in opmn startup script:

/OBI11G/instance/instance1/bin ./opmnctl startall

3. startWebLogic.sh(Script to start Weblogic server)

/OBI11G/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin.

./startManagedWebLogic.sh
/OBI11G/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin

To start Managed Server – But this typically can be started from Webogic Console after weblogic server is in running mode.

./startManagedWebLogic.sh bi_server1 http://administration_server_host_name:7001
