Starting OPMN

Hey guys..just a small post on how to start OBIEE11G.

1.Start BI Services.

Wait till the status turns to RUNNING

2.Start OPMN

Following are the OPMN commands:

opmnctl status --> to see status of the components.
opmnctl startall --> to start opmn and all associated components.
opmnctl stopall --> to stop opmn and all associated components.
opmnctl stop --> to stop only opmn
opmnctl start --> to start only opmn
opmnctl stop

check the status of components first

Go to the corresponding folder where opmn is present. Rum the following commands:

opmnctl start
opmnctl status

All the components must be down and pid must be N/A.

Now start all OPMN components.

opmnctl startall

Check the status of the components.

opmnctl status

Now we are ready to login to your em and analytics page.


Error debugging:

case1: some of the components are in down status but still it has a pid
case2: some of the components are in stop status

solutions:
1.manually kill the corresponding components

opmnctl stopproc ias-component= <component_name>

2.stop the bi services and start it again.



3.manually start "Oracle WebLogic NodeManager" service from services.msc
4.manually start the opmn related service "OracleProcessManager_instance1" from services.msc
