Updating Server Configuration Settings

Initialization automatically updates the component configuration files after installation for the default, out of the box configuration. Upon startup, Oracle Business Intelligence uses an initialization file to set parameters. This initialization file is the NQSConfig.INI file. This file is in the installation folder OracleBI_HOME\server\Config (Windows operating systems) or OracleBI_HOME/server/Config (Linux operating systems). To edit NQSConfig.INI, see the topic Changing Oracle BI Configuration File Parameter Entries.

NOTE:  For organizations that use Oracle Application Server, Oracle recommends that you use Oracle Application Server Control to modify configuration files. For organizations that use other application servers, Oracle recommends that you use JConsole. For more information, see Updating Configuration Settings Using Oracle Application Server Control or JConsole.

If you want to configure a new installation, or to reconfigure the settings with your changes, use the generic procedures in this section to help you. For example, you may need to change a configuration setting for the Oracle BI Presentation Services server, so that it can identify the credential store containing the Scheduler administrator credentials. The general plan to accomplish this is as follows:

• First, go to Configuring Oracle BI Presentation Services to Identify the Credential Store to understand which parameters in the Oracle BI Presentation Services instanceconfig.xml file must be set.
• Then, use the procedure in the topic Editing the instanceconfig.xml File, below, to edit the file successfully.

If you make changes to the NQSConfig.INI file, the instanceconfig.xml file, Web Catalog files, or the repository file while the server is running, you need to shut down and then restart that server for the change to take effect. See the topic Starting, Stopping, or Restarting Oracle BI Servers.
