Customized massage when OBIEE (OPMN) services are down.

Hi,
We have OBIEE 11g installed on Weblogic 10.3.3.0 and we have to have an outage message when either BI presentation Service or BI server goes down.
Basically redirection to different URL or customized HTML page.
I believe there is a customization which possible in weblogic.
Can anyone direct me to it?
Thanks!

Neal,
This is a great question and it can be handled in a few different ways.
1.) You could modify the web.xml configuration file of the analytics web appliction for OBIEE. the web.xml file is located in teh /web/ folder for the main OracleBIServer. Remember, the analytics application (OBIEE Presentation Services) is just a Java application running in a container, so you can modify the deploy descriptor file to react to a 400 or 500 error. You get the 500 error when the Presentation Services component of OBIEE in OPMN is down. Here is a link on what you need to do for the web.xml file after you locate it (restart the BI Server and components afterwards. you may even need to redeploy the /analytics web application as well)
Re: Customise Error pages in Weblogic
2.) You could create a script that runs on the server at a short interval to run the opmnctl.bat|sh command and call the specific component to seek the single status of the presentation services comopnent. Parse the status and if it returs "Active" then all is good, if else, use your scripting skills to send a notification via email, etc.
A combination of the two might be plausible as well, I'm not sure of the full requirements you have.
Please mark this response as helpful or the right answer - Sunday is points awareness day. : )

Can I apply any application patch when all application services are down?

Hello All,
Can I apply any application patch when all application services are down?

Definitely you can. On some operating system (like Windows), if relinking is part of the patch then you cannot apply patches unless Application services are down.
Whenever we apply a patch, we enable maintenance mode through adadmin, this would stop users from accessing the application during patch installation. However, you still can use "adpatch options=hotpatch" to apply a patch without enabling maintenance mode.

Try fully restart (below procedure for OBIEE "Simple" installation on Linux)
Stop
1) Stop OBIEE processes (C++ components) : [MiddlewareHome]/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl stopall
2) Stop Weblogic : [MiddlewareHome]/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/stopWebLogic.sh
3) Confirm that Weblogic is not running: ps aux | grep java
4) Optionaly if Weblogic process still running: kill -9 procesID
Start
5) Start OBIEE Services (C++ components): nohup [MiddlewareHome]/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/startWebLogic.sh
6) Close putty session and wait until Weblogic is up. -> you can check it in user home: e.g. /home/obi/nohup.out : log should end with : <Server state changed to RUNNING> <Server started in RUNNING mode>
7) Start OBIEE (C++) processes : [MiddlewareHome]/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl startall
8) [MiddlewareHome]/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl status -l     Verify that all processes are running

Customs alerts when a port-channel is down.

Hi,
I want to receive syslog alerts when a port-channel is down, or when a interface from the port-channel is down or if is possible to know when a neighbors is unreacheable or lost.
Is possible?? I have tried to configure Automated Actions in the tool syslogs on RME (LMS 3.2) when a interface is down (LINK-*-3-UPDOWN:* LINK-*-5-CHANGED:* LINK-*-5-UPDOWN:*), but I received alerts messages from others interfaces when only I want the interfaces that form the port-channels.
Thanks,

Well if it's the only remaining channel link, the port-channel goes down. If not the only remaining channel link, the port-channel continues without it. As you note, you lose bandwidth and I believe traffic will be rehashed across the remaining channel links, which can result in less optimal load distribution.
Protocols like STP or a routing protocol shouldn't see a link outage or flap.

Can't log in with 'admin' + services are down

We can no longer log in to our server with the username 'admin'.. When we type in admin and the password, it just pauses for 10 seconds, and then shakes the login window as if the password was wrong.
Before this problem (on our intel Xserve, OS X Server 10.5.3) we used 'admin' + the password to use Screen Sharing and to log in to the File Server.
We used these services: File Server, Web Server, Mail Server, Printer Server.
Only the Web Service is working now, probably because it's not dependent on passwords etc.
After a Software Update (for Quicktime) and a re-start, we can't log in.
Using the name 'root' and the same password as the 'admin' let's us into the server, but this doesn't work for accessing the File Server.
When we log in as root, and start up Server Preferences, it says there are multiple errors, and there are no users in the Users options
The system.log is full of stuff like:
(org.openldap.slapd[1828]): Exited with exit code: 1
(org.amavis,amavisd[1829]): Exited with exit code: 1
How do we get things back to normal?

Pretty cool script here that will do what you're asking and more:
http://www.adx-consulting.com/en/downloads.html
You can use it or learn from it to write your own. You'll want to edit the files it installs as you see fit and change the password to the archive of course. The instructions are listed during the installation. Works fine on Leopard server. By default I believe it does weekly archives but you can change it to monthly or daily depending on your needs.

What are the effects on BW when R/3 system is down?

Hi BW Experts,
What are the effects on BW system, when R/3 systems are down for maintenance?
And what care we need to take towards BW during the down time?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sunil.

Hi Sunil,
when R/3 system is down the BW daily loads & weekly loads will fail.
the best solution is you can reschedule the job when R/3 is Up.
You can cancel the running jobs by going through
SM37 -- > select that particular job --> JOB (in menu bar) --> select released --> schedule option.

Internal Error when starting presentation services

I have installed OBIEE on XP(SP2) and started all services. http://localhost:9704/em works where http://localhost:9704/analytics gives http 500 internal error. Can anyone provide me solution please?.

I have checked from em, Application Analytics is running. On the command window of Oc4J, Could not create Java Virtual Machine message will appear and also could not allocate memory heap will work. This happens only when BI Presentation Services are invoked. I am thinking this might be some configuration issue but could not localize.

Content Distributor, deployment Manager and resource services are dead

Hi,
I am using Fast ESP 5.3 product single node in a window environment. Recently during a SAM patch installation I have restarted ESP and post that I have found below three services status as N/A in System Overview. Even the server was restarted
due to window patching. As these services are down I am unable to create any collection neither am I able to publish any search profile.
Content Distributor
deployment Manager
and resource services
Strangely in nctrl status all services are displayed as Running.
These are the work around I have tried:
killed processes from Task manager
Restarted ESP
So is there any possible way to bring these services up.
With Regards,
Santanu Mishra

With reboot of the server the issue got resolved....

Error while configuring OBIEE 11G OPMN Service during Installtion

Hello,
i tried installing 11G with simple install on Vista and didnot work, I think 11g does not work on Any Vista and not sure of W7
second, i tried installing the same on Windows XP and the installtion worked fine till the end and while configuring OPMN Services,
the OBIPS Services and OBICCS services failed, i retried to configure this services with "retry" option but never worked, so i skipped this part thinking that
i can configure this manually. finally i was not able
weblogic's Admin server, Managed server, Node manager and Analytics.war deployments are all healthy in EM Console and Weblogic console
the Fusion Middleware control in EM Console shows the BI Components are not started and i tried restarting it and but never started.
so i think there is something wrong with OPMN configuration at the end of installtion
is there a way to trouble shoot this.
i tried searching of SAWSERVER service so i can start the manaully, but it did not start
i did a softwareonly install on top this single instance installtion thinking if that can help me, but it didnt
so please anyone help me
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
I believe OBICCS is the Oracle BI Cluster Controller Service. That particular service requires a static IP address. A lot of people use the loopback adaptor to accomplish.
Here's a quick rundown of some things you should check before installing OBIEE 11g.
1. Make sure you have a static IP (use a loopback adaptor if you have to).
2. Make sure your static IP adaptor is the first adaptor in your connections list. You can do this by going to Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections -> Advanced. Use the up and down arrows to ensure that the static IP is the top of the list.
3. Make sure you hosts file (c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) has the proper entry for the static IP address. For example, if your computer is called MyComputer and your static IP is 192.168.0.1, then the first entry should be: 192.168.0.1 MyComputer. Note: You may need to have your domain on your entry. ie. 192.168.0.1 MyComputer.mydomain.com.
I recommend you check those things. If you missed one of them, fix it and then back out the 11g install and re-install.
Good luck and if you found this helpful, please award points!

Reports Services getting down when running reports using in process server

Hi,
I have applied patchset 3829014 (Containers for J2EE: Patchset PLACE HOLDER FOR OC4J STANDALONE RELEASE 9.0.4.1)
to fix the Bug No. 2670561 CPU usage becomes 100% when there is a new HTTP connection
request in the queue.
Now after reploying the *.ear file and restarting OC4J_BI_FORMS services from Enterprise Manager and starting the Reports Services if I want to run the reports from the application contained in the ear file, I find the Reports Services is down and the browser throws a 500 - Internal Server Error.
In the ipm.log file in Oracle_home\opmn\logs I find the following lines:
05/01/08 17:15:55 [4] Process Alive: OC4J~OC4J_BI_Forms~default_island~1 (1162281586:636)
05/01/08 17:17:32 [2] [libopmnoc4j] AJP13: Receiving response code: 500 while configured success code is: 200
05/01/08 17:17:32 [2] [libopmnoc4j] Ping URL for proc: 1162281586 failed while pinging url:/reports/rwservlet/pingserver?start=auto
05/01/08 17:17:32 [4] [libopmnoc4j] Process Ping Failed: OC4J~OC4J_BI_Forms~default_island~1 (1162281586:636)
I can't get from where the response code of 500 is coming.
I have consulted the Doc Id 261867.1 in Metalink and has tuned the opmn.xml file as suggested there but of no use.
Urgent help in this regard is needed where I went wrong as my production Application Server has become inoperative.
Thanks
Nilay

The ear file contains the front end application from where the reports are called. I have created a new J2EE instance and deployed the application in the form of ear file there.
After tuning the opmn.xml file following Metalink Doc. Id 261867.1 adding a value of pingtimeout, I found the OC4J_BI_FORMS was not shutting down the inprocess reports server and I was unable to generate reports by giving values from URL. But when I deploy the ear file in the newly created J2EE instance, the OC4J_BI_FORMS is shutting down . Now when I try to start the infrastructure components the OC4J_SEcurity is showing Database dependancy failed although OID and HTTP server components are up.
