Starting and Stopping OBIEE Services from Putty

Sometimes even though we stop all the weblogic processes still node manager/obiee services will be running in the background.

To make sure no other process is running kill nodemanager and obiee processes

ps -ef |grep Node|grep nodemanager |cut -c10-15

ps -ef |grep obiee

Kill the above processes ( kill <PID>)

Stopping Weblogic

Go to

<OBIEE Home>/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/

Then run -> ./stopWebLogic.sh

Starting Weblogic

---------------

nohup sh

<OBIEE Home>/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/startWebLogic.sh -Dweblogic.management.username=weblogic -Dweblogic.management.password=weblogic234 > wls_start.log &

Note: Change password of your application. Nohup is the command to run the process in the linux and give the control back to putty.

OBIEE - Session Variables are not updated problem

OBIEE - Session Variables are not updated problem

When you are using Session Variables, with Row-wise initialization.

In case you have a problem with those session variables not being updated, unless you restart the BI server...

Please make sure that the "use caching" option is turned off. Otherwise the Session Variables are not refreshed each time you log in.

(The use caching is very useful in many other cases).
