Modifying Configuration Files Using Oracle Application Server Control

This task describes how to change Oracle BI settings using Oracle Application Server Control.

To modify configuration files using Oracle Application Server Control

1. Display Oracle Application Server Control by starting a Web browser and entering the Application Server Control URL.

   The URL must contain the fully qualified host name and domain of the Oracle BI OC4J instance that you want to configure. For example: http://<host.domain>:8888/em

   TIP:   To find out the URL for Oracle Application Server Control in your installation, ask your administrator.

   If the Oracle Application Server Control OC4J instance is not running, perform the following steps:

   • For a Windows installation, display an MS-DOS window and enter the command to run OC4J.

     If the path to the Oracle Application Server Control OC4J command file is not set for the machine, the command must contain the full path to its location in the OracleBI_HOME\oc4j-bi\bin directory. For example, you might enter the following command:

   D:\OracleBI\oc4j-bi\bin\oc4j -start

   This starts the Oracle Application Server Control OC4J instance.

   • Return to Step 1.
2. When prompted, enter an Application Server Control user name and password.
3. Click OK to display the Oracle Application Server Control OC4J Home page.
4. Click the Applications tab to display the J2EE applications, and application components deployed to the OC4J instance.
5. Click the icon in the Application Defined MBeans column for the Oracle BI Management row to display the Application MBeans page.
6. Click the plus (+) symbol in the left column to expand the navigation tree.

   The navigation tree expands to display links for viewing or updating configuration attribute values. Each node in the navigation tree represents a configuration file as shown in the following table.

   Node Name	Component Name	Configuration File
   Analytics configuration	Oracle BI Server	NQSConfig.INI
   Cluster configuration	Oracle BI Cluster	NQClusterConfig.INI
   Isapi configuration	ISAPI	IsapiConfig.INI
   Presentation Server Configuration	Oracle BI Presentation Services	instanceconfig.xml

7. Click a link in the navigation tree to display the details for a group of configuration file attributes.

   For example, click the Cache link under the Oracle BI configuration node to display the attributes that relate to the cache, including a description of each attribute, and its current value.

8. Update an attribute value in one of the following ways:
   • Using the current page:
     • Enter a new attribute value into the Value field for the appropriate row.
     • Click Apply to apply the changes.
   • Displaying a page to view or update the setting:
     • Click the link in the Name column to display a new page.
     • Enter a new attribute value in the Value field.
     • Click Apply to apply the changes.
     • Click Return to close the page and display the navigation tree.
9. Repeat the previous steps to view or update another configuration attribute value.
