System administrators start and stop the Oracle Business Intelligence system and component processes to perform a range of maintenance operations that require process downtime.
Understanding the state (that is, up, down, starting, and stopping) of each component in the Oracle Business Intelligence system is an essential activity when diagnosing and resolving availability and performance issues, and when performing life-cycle and management operations. For further information, see Diagnosing and Resolving Issues in Oracle Business Intelligence.
Oracle Business Intelligence runs within Oracle WebLogic Server, and therefore Oracle WebLogic Server must be started before Oracle Business Intelligence components can be started and maintained.
To make changes to server configuration settings, the Business Intelligence Catalog, the repository (.rpd file offline), and other settings, you must restart the appropriate Oracle Business Intelligence components before those changes can take effect.
When you stop Oracle Business Intelligence, end users are logged out, and when ready, the system prompts you to log in again, ensuring session state consistency.
Note:
For information about the Oracle Business Intelligence installed components, see Oracle Business Intelligence Components.
