---------------------------------------

Hello Rakesh,
I tried the following and it worked for me !! I can start the Presentation services now. You might want to check these 2 things:
1) C:\OracleBI\server\Config\ NQSconfig.INI check which rpd file is there
2) C:\OracleBIData\web\config \ instanceconfig.xml see which one is there
Note: If Samplesales is creating problem. Creat one more folder there called Samplesales1 and provide the path of samplesales1 instead of samplesales in instanceconfic.xml file.
Make sure there must be only one folder under one name(check here : C:\OracleBIData\web\catalog) ,or it will create problem.
Hope this should work for you
Cheers,
S

Cannot Start Presentation Services - OBIEE 11g( 11.1.1.5)

When I am trying to restart OBIEE services, presentation service (OBIPS) throws the following error and is shutting down

Did anyone encounter this issue before? Really appreciate your help
Thanks

I verified all the log file and also we didn't modify any config files after upgrade.
I Just restarted the presentation services from EM and everything is running fine now.
Thanks

ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist

I'm running an Xserve G5 with one internal boot drive and one RAID using the other two internal drives. I used Apple's Disk Utility to set-up the RAID.
Back in early December, I moved my mail database and mail store to the RAID. Ever since, when I restart the server, the mailaccess.log generates the following error:
Jan 23 18:51:33 mail master[47]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/RAID/mail.data/db
I'm speculating this is a timing error that gets created when Postfix initially can't find the RAID. Then, it must try again and find it because the error message does not repeat and mail starts running.
Is this something to worry about?

Hi Joel,
You're right, it's a timing issues. The mail system is ready for work before the file system is mounted. It's benign.

Mail server log says: master[50]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services...

Recently, after a year or more of relatively smooth service, my OS X Server 10.4.11 Mail services has been locking up daily.
I was finally able to get some information from the log files (I am a noob to this) and saw the following right after my most recent reboot of the server:
Oct 5 09:51:11 mm1 master[50]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/Data/mail/var/imap
I checked the server and that directory is indeed there on the partition named "DATA", so I am baffled as why the server does not thing the configuration directory exists?
drwxr-xr-x 15 cyrusima mail 510 Oct 5 09:51 imap
drwxr-xr-x 15 root admin 510 Oct 3 20:01 imap.BAK
drwxr-xr-x 15 cyrusima mail 510 Oct 3 20:05 imapold10032009-200707
drwxr-xr-x 4 jkoerber admin 136 Dec 3 2007 spool
mm1:/Volumes/Data/mail/var jkoerber$
Can anyone help me? My customers are yelling for blood because they cannot send/receive emails.

Thanks Alex for the feedback. You are helpful as always!
It's good to know that the message I am getting from the mail server about the configuration files is only a temporary thing. Although I find it strange that the mail service doesn't know where its config files are since it is specified in the mail server setup.
I looked at the log files you mentioned and do not see anything that looks like a specific problem with the mail services themselves.
Recently, however, I have been having recurring problems where my mail server and my Web/Database server have both become unresponsive at nearly the same time even though they are on different class A networks to where I cannot access them via ARD, Server Admin and even SSH. That is usually when my mail server goes offline. I was afraid it was because of that configuration error I was seeing, but think now that the problem could be something else entirely (maybe some kind of network problem or denial of service hacking attack, no idea).
Thanks again.

Unable to start presentation services in obiee 10g

Hi,
Everythig is fine untill I restart the machine. I havent done any changes before restarting my mahcine. Once restarted the presenttion services are not starting.
Error: "Windows could not start BI Presentation server on local computer.For more information,review the system event log.if this is non-microsoft service,contact the service vendor, and refer to service specific error code-1".
I have checked instanceconfig.xml and catalog folders, paths, rpd etc.. But no use.
sawlog file give me the error:
Allocation of SQLEnvironment failed (SQLError: -1). Please ensure that the odbc driver is in your environment path.
How to resove it..
Thanks.

Need few checks from your side:
1) Start BI Server and open RPD line mode, if you able to open then check instanceconfig file to make sure the tag is
<DSN>AnalyticsWeb</DSN> is matching with ODBC dsn for 'Oracle BI Server'
If this looks good then
2) use different name for tag CatalogPath from instanceconfig file and start the Presentation service
let us know updates
Make sure you have this in path Drive:\OracleBI\server\Bin

1) Check your instanceconfig.XML file (better if u have back up plz restore it then change it u r current catalog)
2) In the RPD, go to Manage -> Variables. Look through your initialization blocks and see if any are being used to set the USER variable.
3) make sure if have LDAP settup (external table via init blog)
4) if you can back of your RPD,Catalog restore it then try to access it (for testing) if its works then u r current issue catalog may be corrupted webcat
if your providing sawlog0.log ..it will be easy to find the issues

Not able to start presentation services during EBS integration with OBI

Hi All,
I ran through an issue while trying to integrate OBIEE 11.1.1.5 with EBS R12. I followed the steps mentioned in the below link
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/ebs_actions.htm
I restarted all the services but i was routed to OBIEE login screen through EBS. Later on i made some changes in connection pool of the repository and started the services but now presentation services are not coming up. i tried restarting all the services from EM and opmnctl but to no avail. i went through sawlog5 and console~coreapplication_obips1~1.log file but not able to find any specific error. Below is the error description from both the files

Hi,
i did make changes to connection pool but those changes are inevitable. I pointed those connection pools to the new EBS database.
@DPKA : i did make changes to instanceconfig. As a part of OBIEE integration with EBS, i changed instanceconfig.xml and started the services. I didn't bring down the services while making the changes. Did that have any impact on services.

Sandeep

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.

When i tried to access the OBIEE dashboard link , it throws the following error: *500 Internal error.*Also in the ascontrol.log file, the following error occured:

OBIEE 11g Active Directory Presentation Service Error retrieving user

Hi Team,
It was a great help from all of you on our OBIEE learnings.
I recently configured Microsoft AD on Weblogic rather than RPD. But felt like I am in a desert of helplessness due to the complicated and lengthy documents and settings :(
Still when I configured everything and logged in to presentation services using AD Credentials, observed following error!
Error retrieving user/group data from Oracle BI Server's User Population API.

Total blockout! Anyone faced this issue earlier

You need a user to be present in your Active Directory Base DN that will be used as the BISystemUser. You will either have to create this user in AD or use an existing AD user and then specify its credentials in Enterprise Manager (expand Weblogic Domain > bifoundation_domain (right click) > Security > Credentials). You will need to set system.user credential under oracle.bi.system map. Make sure your AD user's password never expires or you will run into problems in a few weeks time!

Not able to start Presentation services

Hi friends,
when start the presentation services i am getting the error like (*Sevice specific error 1*).
Thanks

For sure your webcat is corrupted..try creating a blank catalog or fix the old one. Also, check your instanceconfig.xml once whether the xml is not corrupted ??
