Starting and Stopping Exalytics

First thing we need to know is that, when you install OBIEE on Exalytics, it does not do a simple install. It does the Enterprise Install of OBIEE. That means the BI Server on the web logic is installed on port 9704. So what does this mean? It means that if you did a simple install, starting weblogic will start the Admin Server and the BI Server. But now, you have to start the Node manager and the BI Server seperately.

Startup:
1.) Start Times Ten
2.) Start Web Logic Admin Server
3.) Start Web Logic Node Manager
4.) Start Weblogic Managed Server - BI Server on weblogic
5.) opmnctl startall to start all the BI Components

URL's.
Web Logic Console:   http://hostname:7001/console
Web Logic EM:          http://hostname:7001/em
OBIEE:                      http://hostname:9704/analytics
BI Publisher:               http://hostname:9704/xmlpserver

The shutdown order is the reverse of the above.
1.) opmnctl stopall to stop all BI components
2.) Stop Weblogic Managed Server - BI Server on Weblogic.
3.) StopWeblogic stop Admin server and node manager
4.) Kill the node manager process
5.) Stop Times Ten

I will publish the script in a couple of days after I clean it up for security reasons.

In any case, we used Chris's script on Oracle Forums to get this going. Chris, your rock. Chris Rock?

There is a master note in Oracle Metalink for OBIEE start/stop that is very useful as well as for reference. Master Note For Start / Stop Of OBIEE 11g [ID 1423264.1]
