OBIEE Notes

RPD merging
Method 1 PATCH File creation (All objects to be migrated, not applicable for
selected objects)
1. Go to Admin tool (Suppose Dev has latest development that needs to be
deployed in PROD)
2. Open development RPD & go to compare RPD.
3. Compare RPD with PROD RPD & create a patch file.
4. Close the Dev RPD, Open PROD RPD & go to merge, select patching
5. Select patch file & done.
Method 2

Web (Presentation) Catalog deployment

Archive all the folders & catalog files from PROD.
Take the archival of DEV catalog which is to be deployed on the PROD server.
Take down all the BI services from FMW (EM) or from the Linux box
(./StartStopServices.sh stop_all)
Check if node manager is also down by checking services & if not then it down by
using its service number

To start the Oracle Business Intelligence system, you start:

the Administration Server

the Node Manager

the Managed Servers,

and then you start the system components.

opmnctl startall
Starts OPMN and all Oracle Business Intelligence system components.
The bi_server1 (Managed Server) must be running before you can start
OPMN. For information, see Section 4.8.1, "Confirming If the Managed
Server Is Running and Starting It" and Section 4.8, "Starting and
Stopping Managed Servers on Windows and UNIX."

opmnctl start
Starts OPMN only.

opmnctl startproc ias-component= <component_name>

Starts a particular system component. For example, where
coreapplication_obips1 is Oracle BI Presentation Services:
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
You view system component names in Fusion Middleware Control by
displaying the system components Availability region of the Availability
tab in the Capacity Management page, and expanding the required
entry in the Name column. For more information, see Section 2.2.3,
"Using Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle Business
Intelligence System Components." System component names are
displayed in the format coreapplication_<component_name> (for
example coreapplication_obips1 is the name of the Oracle BI
Presentation Services component).

opmnctl stopall
Stops all managed system components.

opmnctl stopproc ias-component= <component_name>

Stops a particular system component.

opmnctl restartproc ias-component= <component_name>

Restarts a particular system component.

opmnctl shutdown
Stops opmn and all managed system components.

The OPMN configuration file is in

the ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml directory on UNIX and

specifies the exact environment that is used to start each Oracle Business
Intelligence system component. It contains the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH values
for the system components and the port number for OPMN and optional SSL
configuration.
