How to do perform troubleshooting in OBIEE

By

 



Troubleshooting Services


Service = Oracle BI Java Host





1. Oracle BI Java Host service is not running, check Services.


2. Important for initial installation for OBIEE servers. Can be turned back to original settings after OBIEE installation.


Before you install the OBIEE software on a Windows 2003 server make sure you "Turn on Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for essential Windows programs and services only.‟ This located on the Advanced tab of the System Properties. In addition, install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0





1) Experiment with stopping the Oracle BI Java Host service and running a report with a chart.


2) Locate where to change the DEP settings.





1. If the location of the Java SDK folder location changes or is renamed while the Oracle BI Java Host is running it will have no impact. Only after the service is restarted will Analytics notice the change.





2. The instanceconfig.xml file tells the service where to locate the Java SDK.


Service = Oracle BI Server






1. Check the log file every other day for suspicious or error messages.


2. If there‟s an incorrect entry in the NQSConfig.ini file the service will not start.






1) Restart the Oracle BI Server service and view the log file.


2) In the configuration file enter the name of a repository that does not exist, restart the service and view the log.



Service = Oracle BI Presentation ServerAlways








1. After checking the \OracleBIData\web\log\sawlog.log, check the Event Viewer for suspicious or error messages.


2. If there‟s an entry in the instanceconfig.xml file to a webcat that does not exist a new webcat will be created.


3. Always stop the BI Presentation service before stopping the BI Server service.



Service = Oracle BI Scheduler 






1. Check for suspicious entries or errors in the \OracleBI\Server\Log\NQScheduler.log the same time you are looking at the other logs.


2. Check the Data Source Name to make sure it works as expected.






3. If the Administrator Name (SchedulerAdmin) password was recently changed and the Job Configuration screen was not updated then the Scheduler service will not start.






Forgetting the OC4J Password


OC4J password is necessary to uninstall or upgrade OBI. If the password is forgotten or lost, please use following steps to reset the OC4J password:


1.Navigate to the <oc4j_root>/j2ee/home/configdirectory 

2. Backup the file: system-jazn-data.xml for restore or later reference 

3. Edit the file: system-jazn-data.xmla. 

    a. Locate the following entries…

    <user>

        <name>oc4jadmin</name>

       <display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name>

       <description>OC4J Administrator</description>

     credentials>{903}MMGWnYKcnMKBBOR1LroHHrQpy3zmVbGEohN4aUSjxK4=        </credentials>

     </user>

    b. …and add the XML attribute deactivated="true", as shown below: 

    <user deactivated="true">

     <name>oc4jadmin</name>

     <display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name>

     <description>OC4J Administrator</description>

     credentials>{903}MMGWnYKcnMKBBOR1LroHHrQpy3zmVbGEohN4aUSjxK4= 

     </credentials>

     </user>


4.When you next start the oc4j instance using "oc4j -start" the container will re-prompt you for the password and add the newly encrypted password to the <credentials> tag in the oc4jadmin entry.
