Adapt to survive

Little by little things evolves and evolution means change over time. These changes should be always focused on improvement and only adaptive mechanisms are the key to get better.

There’s no sense bet on something that over time is useless.

Finally, I’ve installed the latest version of Oracle BI (11G), and this release includes the latest application server Weblogic.

Once works, I noticed that Oracle BI 11g provides a new robust architecture within Business Intelligence applications. After a bit of research, now it’s time to share my findings (thoughts that are still on my mind).

First of all, as you can see in the below screenshot, let me represent the main part (from my point of view): How are involved Oracle Instance within Oracle BI 11g application.

 

Focus on Oracle Instances, use the following command line to start (Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server) OPMN services:
Command: opmnctl.bat startall
Path: C:\OracleBI11g \instances\instance1\bin
e.g.: C:\OracleBI11g\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl.bat startall

Anyway, in order to start the process separately, below are listed each service:

opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obiccs1                         (Cluster Service)
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obis1                            (BI Service)               
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obijh1                           (Javahost)
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1                          (Presentation Service)
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obisch1                        (Scheduler Service)

Finally, in order to stop Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) services, we use the following command line:

Command: opmnctl stopall
Path: C:\OracleBI11g \instances\instance1\bin
C:\OracleBI11g\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl stopall

Such as start OPMN services, each process can be stopped separately, below are the command lines:

opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obisch1          (Scheduler Service)
opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1           (Presentation Service)
opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obijh1            (Javahost)
opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obis1              (BI Service)
opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obiccs1           (Cluster Service)

Hope it helps.
Fins aviat,
Joan Martí.
