Updating the instanceconfig.xml File for Oracle BI Servers

Before you edit a configuration file, always make a backup copy.

To update the Oracle BI server instanceconfig.xml settings

1. If necessary, stop the server. See the topic Stopping Oracle BI Servers.
2. On the server machine, locate the appropriate instanceconfig.xml file.

   NOTE:  The Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services and Oracle Business Intelligence Scheduler servers each uses its own instanceconfig.xml file for configuration. Make sure that you use the file associated with that server.

3. Open the file using an XML editor.
4. Make changes in the instanceconfig.xml file.
5. Save the changes to the instanceconfig.xml file.
6. Restart the server. See the topic Starting or Restarting Oracle BI Servers.

To update the Oracle BI Server configuration settings

2. Make changes in the instanceconfig.xml or NQSConfig.INI files.
