Art of BI: OBI12c Basic Paths and Commands
Based on some work we’ve been doing with our clients recently, we thought it would be helpful to write up Linux-based references to some (not all) common file paths that have changed between OBI11g and OBI12c and the basic new commands (Start/Stop/Status, RPD, Service Instance Backup) of Oracle BI 12c. Feel free to save this as a reference document for future Oracle BI 12c activities.
Some of the Basic Oracle BI 12c File Locations and Commands:
**Note these are based on a single application server environment not at scaled out environment.
RPD:
|
1 |
/ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bidata/service_instances/ssi/metadata/datamodel/customizations/live.rpd |
Web Catalog:
|
1 |
/ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/bidata/service_instances/ssi/metadata/content/catalog/root |
Start/Stop/Status Scripts:
|
1 2 3 4 |
/ORACLE_HOME /user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin ./stop.sh ./start.sh |
With the above 2 commands, you can specifically start/ stop different services by utilizing the –i (lower case i) placing it directly after the cmd and then specifying the services you wish to start/stop
Examples:
|
1 2 3 4 |
./stop.sh –i obis1,obisch1,obijh1,obiccs1,obips1 ./start.sh –i AdminServer,bi_server1,obis1,obips1 ./status.sh |
Download/Upload RPD:
|
1 |
/ORACLE_HOME /user_projects/domains/bi/bitools/bin |
Download
|
1 |
./datamodel.sh downloadrpd -O /Directory/To/Save/OBI12c.rpd -SI ssi -U weblogic -P password |
Upload
|
1 |
./datadmodel.sh uploadrpd -I /Directory/Of/Saved/OBI12c.rpd -SI ssi -U weblogic -P password |
Common Log Files:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |

Common Configuration Files:
|
1 |
/ORACLE_HOME /user_projects/domains/bi/config/fmwconfig |
Some Examples:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
/biconfig/OBIPS/instanceconfig.xml /biconfig/OBIS/NQSConfig.ini /bienv/core/tnsnames.ora /bienv/core/odbc.ini /bienv/core/bi-environment.xml |
WebLogic Scripting tool:
|
1 |
/ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh |
Export/Import Service Instance: (aka Service Instance Backup/Restore or Service Instance Migration)
|
1 |
/ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh |
Backup Instance:
|
1 |
exportServiceInstance('Domian_Home','ssi','Work_Directory','Export_Directory','','','',Catalog_Runtime_Info,'Include _Credentials') |
Example:
|
1 |
exportServiceInstance('/app/oracle/biee/user_projects/domains/bi','ssi','/app/oracle/workDir','/app/oracle /exportDir','','','',true,'Password1') |
Restore Backup of Instance:
|
1 |
importServiceInstance('Domain_Home’,'ssi','/Saved/SSI/Export/Directory’,’ssi’,’/SSI/Bar/Saved/Location/name.bar,import_RPD,import_WebCat,import_security_model,'Include_Credentials') |
Example:
|
1 |
importServiceInstance('/app/oracle/biee/user_projects/domains/bi','ssi','/app/oracle/importDir/ssi.bar’,true,true,true,'Password1') |
