Restart the WebLogic Server to Run Reports

After registering with SDM, enabling SSL or changing the BIP security model, the WebLogic server must be restarted for reports to run properly.

Pre-requisite:You must have an SSH connection to your BI Publisher server. When you are prompted for a password, use the password you set up when installing BI Publisher.

Note:

If you set up a standalone, restart the WebLogic server. If you set up a cluster, restart all WebLogic servers in the cluster.

Stop the WebLogic server by running the stopWeblogic.sh script.
```
cd /app/OracleMiddleWare/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/
./stopWebLogic.sh
```
The default user name is weblogic.
To start the WebLogic server not in background mode, run the startWeblogic.sh script:
```
cd /app/OracleMiddleWare/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/
./startWebLogic.sh
```
WARNING:
If you start the Administration Server from a Windows or UNIX command-line window, then do not close the window later on, or the server terminates (unless the server is started as a background process from the command line).

WARNING:
If your BI Publisher server went down, make sure you start the Oracle database and restart the listener before restarting the WebLogic server.

Note:
For more information, see this article about Starting and Stopping Oracle Business Intelligence Components.

To start the WebLogic server in background mode, run the following command:

nohup ./startWebLogic.sh -Dweblogic.management.username=weblogic -Dweblogic.management.password=<password>

Note:

Press Enter to the shell.

If you want to configure the Oracle user .bash_profile, enter the following parameters:
```
export WLS_USER=weblogic
export WLS_PW=<my-secure_password>       
```
Login again as the Oracle user and start BI Publisher.
```
nohup ./startWeblogic.sh &
```
