Starting and Stopping the BI services from command prompt in OBIEE 11g

OBIEE 11g has OPMN services which include BI server, Scheduler ,Presentation Services, Cluster and JavaHost. Lets see how we can manage them from command line using the oracle provided OS script file.

• CTRL+R will open the run dialog box.
• Type cmd and hit enter, it will open a command line with default path to user documents and settings.
• Change the directory to where ever the OBIEE_HOME exists.
• go to folder ORACLE_HOME/instances/instances1/bin

This folder contains the OS script file which can control the BI services.

1. opmnctl  stopall - will stop all the BI services 
2. opmnctl  startall - will start all the BI services
3. opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1 - to start the Presentation Server alone
4. opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1 - to stop the Presentation Server alone
5. opmnctl restartproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1 - to restart the Presentation Server alone

we can control the other services alone by replacing the coreapplication_obips1 with respective names.
