Stopping/starting BO4 via scheduled script (SIA enough?)

Hi,
We are wishing to implement a backup stratgey for our new BO4 deployment running on 2 windows servers against Oracle 11 CMS database.
Wish to have cold backups in addition to hot ones.
In order to implement cold backups will need to bring the BOE services down via script.
Just wondered as to best practice.
1) Is it sufficient to simply stop the SIA via script and what would command be.  In old XIR2 we have net stop and net start server names.
I'm assuiming fine to leave Tomcat up and running during this time - will be for up to 1 hr during night when nobody using system.
Many Thanks

Create a file C:\Windows\reboot-script.bat and put the following command string in it:
shutdown /r /f /d P:4:1
/r  = reboot
/f  = force running applications to close (this shuts down BOE and Tomcat)
/d  P:4:1  = the reason for the reboot (P=Planned)
     the numbers are Major and Minor reasons for the reboot
     4:1 = Application:Maintenance
     4:2 = Application:Installation
(The /d and it's following parameters are not really necessary but I put them in there so that my Wintel support team can see the reboot is planned and executed by me)
With that one command string in your *.bat file, you can then use Task Scheduler to "Start a Program" at the specified time you need.
CAUTION:  If you set this up and run it under your own ID, that can lead to inconsistent results.  It's really much better to run it as SYSTEM (your Windows Admin has to get involved) or a Service Account.  This is on the General tab of the Task Scheduler.

  • Stopping/Starting Portal via BAT file on Windows

    In our landscape we have the ABAP and JAVA stack installed on separate servers for security reason.  We are trying to implement windows updates via SUS and need to automate the stopping and starting of SAP.  The bat file that was created works when stopping and starting the ABAP portion of SAP but on the Portal server it will take it down but when trying to start Portal, the J2ee Server will not start, but when I use the SAP MMC all servers starts up without any problem.  Below is the start up bat file, any assistance will be greatly appreciated:

    I looked up some training material and in TADM10 - Unit4 - Starting and Stopping a SAP NetWeaver AS Java.. the following is stated:
    Under Windows, the SAP system can also be started and stopped without a GUI by
    calling a command by means of the executable files startsap.exe and stopsap.exe. This
    can be done using a simple telnet access.
    To start an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
    following command: startsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
    SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
    To stop an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
    following command: stopsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
    SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
    For the SAPDIAHOST parameter, enter the name of the host on which the instance is
    to be started.
    So the script is correct, its all according to SAP advice... very strange

  • Starting SQLPlus via batch script

    Hi,
    When I type in: sqlplus USER/PASS@SERVER at command prompt it starts SQL Plus in the command prompt.
    Now when I save this command as .bat file and then execute this bat file it doesn't start SQL Plus. It just keeps on executing this command continuously.
    How can I start SQL Plus via a batch file.
    Thanks in advance,
    Raja

    > Once I execute the bat script it just keeps on executing this command endlessly on the command
    prompt.
    This is typically how you should start SQL*Plus in "batch" mode. Note, the script does not use the command line for the username and password, as that will make it visible to others via a process listing (that typically includes the command line for that process).
    /home/billy> cat x.sh
    #!/bin/sh
    sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
    set heading off
    set feedback off
    connect scott/tiger
    select sysdate from dual;
    exit;
    EOF
    /home/billy> ./x.sh

  • Start wls_forms via scheduler?

    I was wondering if anyone on 2008r2 64 had tried starting wls_forms (10.3.4) on startup configuring that via the windows
    scheduler?
    (This is then not the same as making it a service as oracle talks about in 1060058.1 Seems like the service
    thing has a lot of negatives. If the machine restarts such as from a long powerfailure or whatever I want the
    wls_forms to come up on its own. But I can live without the service thing.)
    So I created the boot.properties id and password.
    %MIDDLEWARE_HOME%\user_projects\domains\<domain name>\servers\WLS_FORMS\security\boot.properties
    and then I'm thinking of basically configuring the scheduler to start at startup that which oracle installed in the start menu to start wls_forms under oracle classic instance, forms services, start weblogic server
    (which is in my case: )
    C:\formmid\user_projects\domains\forms\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd WLS_FORMS t3://MYMACHINE:7001
    Now this works interactively (running as administrator command prompt) at least.
    (If it is not already running such as having been started by the console/environment/servers/control )
    Anyone ever try this and have any comments?

    I have tried it on server 2008 32 bit but am wondering that 64 bit windows allowed you to install oracle 11g .Which version middleware fusion you are using ?
    i have used a scheduler to start weblogic when the system starts .didnt found any problem . go to the batch file provided by the middleware fusion start weblogic server .right click and give username password there and save it . then go to the scheduler and rest you know give 15 minute after windows start . and 15 min after that schedule report server it will work .

  • Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Try this to start:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • BO4 - Lifecycel Management Console to export all content via scheduled job

    Hi,
    We wish to export the entire content of our repository to a lcmbiar file via scheduled job every week.
    Whilst could do this manually, want this to be a periodic refresh.
    The purpose of this is to have a developemnt system which has the content of the production system as of a week ago.
    So would want this job to be dynamic, exporting entire content including any new content on weekly basis at week-end during quiet time on servers.
    Anybody know if this can be done via lcmbiar file automatically?
    I'm thinking say sales folder week 1 10 reports, week 2 somebody creates another 2 reports, would want lcmbiar file to automatically pick up the new reports which have been added in week 2.
    Is this possible via lifecycle management console?
    Can't simply export cms database to development system as contains the production host embedded within it and don't want the development system to have reference to the physical production host.

  • Stop & Start time

    I am curious as to what the "normal" time frame is for stop & start process is for most companies.
    In my situation, I have 2 virtual servers dedicated to Essbase, Financial Reporting and Workspace. It takes me about 20-30 minutes everytime I stop & start.
    I am curious to know if this is about normal compared to others.
    Thank you,
    Dan

    Hello DanJe,
    The best thing you can do it to generate your own scripts as John suggested and can automate the task by scheduling it in the Windows Scheduler for early morning over a weekend to Stop the services and then you can have another Windows scheduler to Start the services after 20 mins.
    We have a similar kind of approach for one of our environments, and it works great for us and I guess it takes around 30 mins for everything to shut down and then come up again!!
    Thanks,

  • Stop/Start OGG

    hi,
    I am using OGG and is working well (two-way replication)
    Every night, my databases are stopped and started (for snapshot backup)
    my question:
    is it better to stop/start OGG with the database
    or let OGG running all the time ?
    Thanks for your help

    Ideally, it would be better to stop GoldenGate and here is why:
    1. You know for sure that all transactions in the source have been replicated/applied to the target. You won't have source at SCN 123 and the target at SCN 119. You won't induce a synchronization problem.
    2. What if scenario - suppose while the databases are closed, something happens to the trails?
    3. What happens to a long-running transaction? Do you want to deal with bounded recovery issues? (answer: no)
    4. You won't be adding/generating irrelevant errors to GoldenGate processes, those about not being able to connect to the database. It just adds clutter to detail reports, and if you have any monitoring built-in, you can avoid generating irrelevant alerts.
    You can use the event marker infrastructure (i.e., send a message to GoldenGate to stop replicat or other processes), or if using regular scripting, check for lag being 0 after extract is stopped.

  • Stop/start in PGW active/standby mode

    Hi all
    My VOIP Network has 2 PGW in active/standby mode. But when we add more telco, the state of ss7path is OOS. i must stop/start the PGW and ss7path is IS status.
    Now PGW is running services. it processing many call with other telco.
    i have question need to support.
    When we stop/start PGW,has PGW disconnected all call or not?
    Thank for supporting
    PhaiLQ

    If you restart the service on active pgw, calls are disconnected. If you don't want out of services you must pass the control to the standby server first.
    From mml console of active server use the command:
    rtrv-ne    to check the status, the output is:
        MGC-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2010-09-07 16:53:42.655 MEST

       "Platform State:ACTIVE" 
    sw-over::confirm to swich control to standby server
    now restart the service
    /etc/init.d/CiscoMGC stop
    /etc/init.d/CiscoMGC start
    P.S. If I remember the right way, the OOS (out of service) state of new ss7 path can be set in IS (in service) via mml command line without service restart.
    set- your ss7 path ::IS   use tab for help

  • How can I enable java applet plug-in and Web Start applications via terminal?

    Since the last Java update to Snow Leopard, I have found that the system periodically disables the Java applet plug-in after a period of disuse.  I know I can go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and just click to re-enable Java.  But I want to write a script which will do this periodically for a couple hundred Mac users where I work. 
    My question is - how can I reenable the Java applet plug-in and web start applications via Terminal command?  Is this possible?  Is there a plist file that can be modified, etc.?
    Bob Reed

    It is my understanding that Apple's most recent Java update automatically disables Java after a certain period of time that it hasn't been used.  We don't want users to have to keep re-enabling it.  So we wanted to find a way to do this via script either run by a Casper JSS server or stored locally on each workstation.   With the guidance provided by Mark Jalbert above and some text from a script written by Rich Trouton, I was able to make a script (with some minor changes) and a launch agent to re-run the script upon login.  So the preference is always enabled.
    For your reference, the script content is:
    #!/bin/sh
    # DYNAMICALLY SET THE UUID FOR THE BYHOST FILE NAMING
    if [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` == "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
    MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c51-62 | awk {'print tolower()'}`
    elif [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` != "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
    MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-62`
    fi
    # Set the the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications" setting in the Java Preferences for the current user.
