How to Start and Stop OBIEE 11g in Linux

Create boot.properties:

Create a "boot.properties" file for each of the servers, so we don't need to manually enter credentials on startup/shutdown. This only has to be done once.

# AdminServer

echo "username=weblogic" > $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties

echo "password=Admin123" >> $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties

# bi_server1

cp $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/bi_server1/security/boot.properties

 starting OBIEE 11g Services:

 Step 1 of 4: Starting Admin Server

Linux Command Terminal
$ nohup $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startWebLogic.sh & $ tail -f nohup.out

After issueing the start command we tail the log until we see the message below, indicating that the server has started successfully.
<WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <Server started in RUNNING mode>

Step 2 of 4: Start NodeManager
There should be a single Node Manager for the machine.  Start it up with the command below.

Linux Command Line
$ nohup $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh > NOD.out & $ $ tail -f NOD.out

After issuing the start command we tail the log until we see the message below, indicating that the server has started successfully.
<Info> <Secure socket listener started on port ####>

Step 3 of 4: Start ManagedWeblogicServer

By default there should be one managed server, bi_server1 that we will start up.  At this point you should start  any other Managed Servers in this Weblogic domain.

Linux Command Line
$ nohup $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh bi_server1 & $ tail -f nohup.out

After issueing the start command we tail the log until we see the message below, indicating that the server has started successfully.
Server started in RUNNING mode

Step 4 of 4: Startup OPMN Components
Oracle Process Manager should be used to shutdown all system components.

Linux Command Line
$ nohup $MW_HOME/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl startall #To check all the services run the below status command $ nohup $MW_HOME/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl status $

Stopping OBIEE 11g services:

It is exactly in the opposite process of the starting the services. Follow below steps:

Step 1 of 4: Stop all the OPMN Components

Oracle Process Manager should be used to shutdown all system components.

Linux Command Line
$ $MW_HOME/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl stopall

Step 2 of 4: Shutdown Managed Server
By default there should be one managed server, bi_server1 that we will shut down.  At the point you should shut down any other Managed Servers in this WebLogic domain.

Linux Command Line
$DOMAIN_HOME/bin/stopManagedWebLogic.sh bi_server1

Verify that the Managed Server has shut down completely with the following commands

$ ps -ef | grep bi_server1.

Step 3 of 4: Shutdown Node Manager

There should be a single Node Manager for the machine.  Shut it down with the command below.

Linux Command Line
$ $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/stopNodeManager.sh # Find the process of nodemanager with the below command and kill it $ ps -ef | grep Node | grep nodemanager | grep -v grep | cut -c10-15 $ kill -9 PID

Step 4 of 4: Shutdown Admin Server
There should be a single Node Manager for the machine.  Shut it down with the command below.

Linux Command Line
$ $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/stopWebLogic.sh

Verify that the Managed Server has shutdown completely with ps -ef | grep AdminServer.

Cheers!
