BI server start/stop services

Hi,
We have OBIEE installed on a unix server. Previoulsy I worked on OBIEE on windows server and would go to services and start/stop services. My question is if we modify the rpd and ftp it to unix server, do we have to stop and start the BI server for the modified rpd to work. Is it mandatory to stop the BI server, ftp the rpd and then start BI server again. Or if we do not stop the BI server and just do Refresh matadata from Answers..will this work? Thanks.

Hi User,
You should restart the services if u ftping the rpd to unix means deploying the rpd to effect the changes
When comes to refresh metadata this ll work in case when the rpd opened in online mode and some one has made changes to get the available changes u have to do "Refresh Metadata"
Thanks,

Worth it? Auto start/stop services and change iptables rules

I have recently set up a crontab to start/stop services based on my schedule, such as when I'll be home or away. I intend to only have a service running when I'll probably use it.
I also integrated rules for iptables into the start/stop of the services (systemd), so they automatically modify rules to accept/reject on their ports when the services start/stop.
I am behind a router, so I only forward outside ports I use like ssh (which is not on port 22). I manually forward ports, but am looking at UPnP. This is my home network so I should be able to trust the devices on it.
Now, to my question. Is it worth the time and effort to set this up? Would it be fine to just enable the services I use, let them run and always have firewall ports open for them? I feel like it's good to limit the time that ssh is running, but what about services not open to the Internet? Resources aren't really an issue. What do you guys think?
I enjoyed learning about systemd, iptables, and cron in the process of setting it up. I'd just like to also learn about how much benefit there actually is, or if anyone has other ideas. Or if it's something that could go on the wiki (not really cron, but maybe the iptables/systemd stuff).

I'd say, if resources aren't an issue; why limit the time ssh is reachable from the outside? You should have PasswordAuthentication and RootLogin disabled anyway so your vulnerability doesn't really decrease by updating iptables? This script probably works fine until you forget about it and it makes a boo-boo; making your machine unreachable.

Windows Server 2008 - Group policy for domain client to start/stop services installed on it

Hello Experts
I am a newbie to windows server administration , though did a Google , but ended up with these question with my requirements
I have created a new domain and 2 client/computer (A & B namely) to domain . Now A & B has tomcat server running with port 8080 , 9090 which i have installed
domain ADMIN account .
&& now i am want to start/stop/restart services enabled for domain users !! How do i achieve this !!
basic question : How can i access A & B tomcat services on DOMAIN CONTROLLER server to create a GPO and that are on (A & B)
what is the easiest way to achieve the same , (if not using GPO)???
similarly I am looking for many features : where I want to control the permission to user on (A & B ) like : If the binaries of tomcat is available on machine say : A , if the user can install (now
it ask for ADMIN credentials)
Thanks
Mike~Ed

Controlling services with Group Policy is done under Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System Services.
The limitation is that system services can only see the services the computer running the Group Policy management console. To access other services, you will either need to create the services on your computer (install the software the adds the service)
or install the remote server administration toolkit (RSAT) on the computer with the service already on it.

Start/stop service log for workgoup server

customer would like to know who start or stop the service on workgroup server.
But we could not find such log. Is there any way to see this information?

This one may help.

Using non-administrator user to start/stop services

We have Crystal Report Server (BOE XI) running on Windows platform.
Our customer's policy dictates that operator ID are to be use to manage starting/stopping of Crytal Report Server. The operator ID has no administrator rights and it has no access to the Microsoft Management Console.
Would it be possible to use non-administrator ID to start/stop Crystal Report Server services? Appreciate if anyone could share on the configuration.
Thank you.

So perhaps like this?
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
execl("/usr/bin/systemctl", "systemctl", "start", "calibre", NULL);
return(EXIT_SUCCESS);
compiled it, then "chown root:root test", "chmod u+s test" and it worked.
But is this safe? I have absolutely no knowledge about potential security issues...
I also have thought about periodically restarting calibre, but on the Raspberry Pi, with it's slow ARM, the start takes ages and the processor is completely busy with that task for some minutes.
And that's the reason why I also want to avoid starting an entire second systemd session... Or is this not that resource intensive?

Hi ,
It seems there is a clash of resources.There are rogue httpd processes left whenever OHS starts/restarts.File httpd.pid contains root httpd process and with the help of scoreboard file its communicated to child httpd processes.
1.check OPMN LOGS.
2.shutdown all process (OPMN infact)
3.pkill or kill -9 httpd
4.go to $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/states and delete all files.
5.check no other HTTP server ports are being used by other processes.(restarting the server is better idea !).
6.CHECK ons.conf IF ANY ENTRIES ARE MISSING / MODIFIED - V IMP
6.Start OPMN and HTTP Server.

Logging server start/stop to syslog?

Hi All!
I have spent all day on this and I am ripping my hair out!
Using Solaris 10 (update 5) and SMF I am trying to get the same start/stop information that is logged to /var/svc/log/... to output via syslog. According to the man page for svc.startd
The supported message
options include quiet, verbose, and debug. The quiet
option sends error messages requiring administrative
intervention to the console, syslog and svc.startd's
global logfile. The verbose option sends error messages
requiring administrative intervention to the console,
syslog and svc.startd's global logfile, and information
about errors which do not require administrative inter-
vention to svc.startd's global logfile.
and you can change the logging options by the following:
# /usr/sbin/svccfg -s system/svc/restarter:default
svc:/system/svc/restarter:default> addpg options application
svc:/system/svc/restarter:default> setprop options/logging = \
astring: verbose
svc:/system/svc/restarter:default> exit
This request will take effect on the next restart of
svc.startd.Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to log information +"about errors which do not require administrative intervention"+ to anywhere other than the global logfile ...
Any support here would be appreciated ...
Rudolf

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to log information "about errors which do not require administrative intervention" to anywhere other than the global logfile ...There is since the set of errors which do not require admin intervention is null. Only LOG_WARNING, LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO and LOG_DEBUG are not sent - by definition, there are no errors. You are correct that there's no clean way of getting everything logged to the local file to go to syslog, though looking at the source, it looks like you might be able to get the same effect if you cause the open to the log file to fail. You could try by creating a directory with the name of the log file....

OBIEE Start/Stop Services failed(After LDAP Configuration)

Hi ,
We made some changes(that is we have added new OID
and configured the new OID based upon the Oracle BI security guide which is in Oracle Site

"JPS-02597: You configured a custom Authentication Provider or WLS generic LDAPAuthenticator, which the libOvd can not recognize. Supply the idstore.type property in jps-config.xml file, or use a specific WLS LDAP Authentication provider that matches your LDAP server instead of a generic one."
Looks like the config you entered was a tad off. Any chance you can roll back by restoring the original files from before the change?
$FMWH/user_projects/domains/yourdomain/config/config.xml
$FMWH/user_projects/domains/yourdomain/config/fmwconfig/jps-config.xml
In the config.xml, inside the <realm> tag yo ushould find your authenticaiton providers and there's two important things for your new one to check:
1.) xsi-type="wls:..." <-- This should be your OID type rather than a generic (or wrong) one
2.) If you're not 100% sure about the config or don't want to immediately shut out native WLS users or want to retain them (both OID and WLS LDAP considered valid), then PLEASE make sure that you run your new authenticator with <sec:control-flag>SUFFICIENT</sec:control-flag> and don't make it REQUIRED since otherwise you won't be able to bring anything up anymore if a single parameter in the authenticator config is off...
Also, check out what Tony wrote together a while back: http://www.peakindicators.com/index.php/knowledge-base/115-oracle-bi-11g-security-troubleshooting
Update:
Should have read the error message more carefully...looks like you actually just slipped by one line in the authenticator config and chose "OracleVirtualDirectory" instead of "OracleInternetDirectory" since it tries to use the libOvd rather than the OID one.

CSA Agent Start / Stop Service Logging - v5.2

Hello,
Is there a way for the CSA MC v5.2 to log and audit CSA agent clients when the agent service is manually stop or restart. Thanks,

You can monitor a service or see Security levels other than medium on the summary screen, but the Agent Service Control rules log when securit is lowered, not raised.
There may be ways to do this but it may help if you would share what you are trying to accomplish.

Start/stop LDAP server

Hi,
When I go for installing OID it gives error.... LDAP is not up and running.
Please tell me the reason.
And also help me, how to start LDAP server start/stop manually..
Thanks,
Arvind Sinha

For OID, there are 2 options to start / stop OID.
option 1: use opmn.
./opmnctl startproc ias-instance=OID
./opmnctl stopproc ias-instance=OID
option 2: use oidmon and oidctl.
./oidmon instance=<sid> start | stop
./oidctl instance=<sid> server=oidldapd start | stop
For these, the pre-req is that the backend db is up and running.
Hope this helps.

You can invoke them using xp_cmdshell from management studio as
ie like below for default instance
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER'
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT'
etc
and below for named instance
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER$instancename'
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT$instancename'
etc
and use net stop for stopping services
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER' EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT' etc
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER' EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT' etc
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER' EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT' etc

When I start SQL server agent (sharepoint) service it stops everytime.

hi,
I have a windows server 2012 and SQL server 2008 R2 and SQL server agent (sharepoint) service goes to stop status everytime i start it ,please help me?

There is no error log ,only 3 information log was there after starting the service that one of them is related to it after stopping (event ID=7036 all of them).but also there is a warning information that source of it is DNS client Events and it's event
ID= 1014 and in the general section of explanation i see the user of last event i mentioned is NETWORK SERVICE ,but the account that the service logs on with it,is administrator.
Without error log message or any kind of message its not possible to help you.Is your SQL Server up and running.Did you checked SQL server errorlog.Run this query after trying to start Agent and post the output.
sp_readerrorlog
Also can you locate SQLAGENT.OUT file and open it in notepad.Location can be at
"Drive :\Program
