Modifying Configuration Files Using JConsole

This task describes how to change Oracle BI settings using JConsole.

To modify configuration files using JConsole

1. Display an MS-DOS window and enter the command to run JConsole.

   If the path to the JConsole executable file is not set for the machine, the command must contain the full path to its location in the JDK 1.5 home.

   For example, you might enter the following command:

   D:\jdk1.5.0.6\bin\jconsole

   JConsole displays the Local tab in the JConsole: Connect to Agent window.

   NOTE:  Oracle supports only the Local tab for connecting to JConsole.

2. If the JConsole:Connect to Agent window does not appear, complete this step.
   • Start a new MS-DOS window.
   • Change the directory to where Oracle Business Intelligence is installed.

     For example, if Oracle BI is installed on the D: drive, change the directory by entering the following command:

   Z:\>cd D:\OracleBI\systemmanagement

   • Enter the command to start the agent that enables JConsole to run.

     For example, enter the following command:

   D:\OracleBI\systemmanagement\>runagent

3. Display a new MS-DOS window and enter the command to run JConsole.
4. In the Local tab of the JConsole:Connect to Agent window, select the Class and Argument oracle.bi.analytics.management.StandardConsoleAgent, and then click Connect to display JConsole.
5. Display the MBeans page and the Attributes tab.
6. Expand the Oracle BI Management node in the navigation tree.
7. Click the Configuration node in 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

8. Click a node in the navigation tree, and click an item to display the details for a group of configuration file attributes in the Attributes tab.

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

9. Update an attribute value from the Attributes tab as follows:
   • Enter a new attribute value into the Value field for the appropriate row.
   • Click Refresh to apply the changes.
10. Repeat the preceding steps to view or update another configuration file attribute value.
